Hot yoga has gained popularity worldwide, and Malta is no exception. This practice involves performing yoga poses in heated rooms, typically ranging from 80-105°F (26.6-40.5°C). The warm environment aims to mimic the climate of India, where yoga originated.
Malta’s hot yoga scene incorporates several techniques, including Bikram Yoga (26 postures) and Vinyasa-style hot classes. The heat warms muscles quickly, allowing for deeper stretches with reduced injury risk.
