What is the likely temperature of a traditional yoga class?

In a traditional yoga class, the likely temperature is less than 90 degrees. Many traditional yoga styles, such as Hatha or Iyengar, are typically practiced in a comfortable, room-temperature environment to facilitate movement and focus without extreme heat. This allows practitioners to engage fully in their poses while maintaining quality of breath and concentration.

In contrast, some styles like Bikram yoga are practiced in heated rooms, around 100 degrees or higher, which is not representative of traditional yoga practices. Therefore, recognizing the difference in temperature settings in various yoga styles helps clarify why less than 90 degrees is considered standard for traditional classes.
