I'm looking for RESEARCH to show that doing Bikram yoga (AKA Hot Box Yoga, AKA Hot Yoga) is dangerous. I'd be happy to here any way that it's dangerous -- my guess is that if there's research out there, it'll suggest that there's an increased rate of injury due to over-stretching one's muscles. Thanks You |

This Hot Yoga, Bikram yoga or similar type is inappropriate and difficult to justify version of Indian ancient Science of Yoga. In fact it can not be called as Yoga as per Indian Science. Many medical experts all over the world have raised concern over the excess strain exerted on muscles in Hot environment (temperatures about 105 deg. F). In this environment there is always a danger of muscle or ligament stretched beyond biological limit and may get Damaged Many articles! Search "bikram yoga" dangerous |

Couldn't find any studies done, but here what a doctor says: Bikram Yoga Health Fears http://www.rickross.com/reference/general/general708.html And another physician: " In a recent New York Times article (March 30, 2004) Dr. Robert Gotlin, director of orthopedic and sports rehabilitation at the Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan stated the dangers that hot yoga poses. In very hot temperatures our bodies stretch and bend further than they normally can. Some experts see this stretching as a benefit, but Gotlin said stretching a muscle too far beyond its resting length will cause damage. Gotlin said he sees about five yoga-related injuries per week. Yoga is about “listening to your body,” said Cooney. When people don’t listen to their bodies they push themselves too far and cause injuries she said."
