(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Bring the leg up, body down.

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): To some, it's called hot yoga. But its official name, Bikram yoga. This class is taking place in a 106 degree room. It's considered a very disciplined way to do yoga and help you learn more about your body and your stamina.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And the heat will help you stretch your body. It's like a blacksmith. If you want to modify steel, you have to heat it up and then slowly you modify it. And with your body, it happens the same.

GUPTA: And although Bikram may be considered a good form of group exercise, participants are really encouraged to listen to their own body.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We tell people don't push too hard, do it slowly.

GUPTA: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN.
