Hello,
I am pleased that you have this website for beginners 🙂 . I heard about Hot Yoga from an audio cd from Wayne Dyer. He said it’s the best workout and extremely energizing. Currently, I have no yoga instructors in my area, so I decided to do this at my home. I am studying the different poses through your website and was wondering how long do I hold each pose? Do I hold each pose for 60 seconds (3 reps)? If you could give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time 🙂 Wish me luck!
Welcome Mo!
Glad you’re discovering the mighty power of hot yoga … feel free to ask any questions about poses etc as you progress.
In the meantime you are in the right place – we have a hot yoga pose timing sheet for you right here:
https://www.hotyogadoctor.com/index.php/site/links/hot-yoga-pose-timings/
There’s a downloadable pdf there too, so you can easily print it out for home.
Bear in mind these are guidelines for a “normal” 90 minute class – you will find that without an instructor, your “silent class” will progress more quickly. Most regulars who have a home practice end up working to their breath – much easier than using a stop watch while practicing! Also more in line with a good yoga practice – thus you learn to slow down breathing, lengthen the pose etc.
Hope that helps!

Buy Bikrams CD and practice with Bikram.
I don’t think that I could practice to it all the time but it will help you with timing, then you’ll be able to figure it out on your own.
Using my normal timing it takes me a little more than an hour to do an entire class silently.
