Why should yoga be "heated"?

High-temperature yoga requires practitioners to stay at room temperature of 38 to 42 degrees Celsius because yoga masters believe that practicing yoga without the body being heated can easily be injured. This is like heating a piece of steel, and you can easily change it with a hammer. Change it into the shape you imagine, and there is no way to change steel that is not heated with a hammer.

It can systematically deliver 100% oxygen-filled fresh blood to all parts of the body, allowing them to return to a healthy and natural working state.
