Does Hot Yoga improve flexibility more than room temperature yoga? Yes, as it turns out. A 2012 meta-analysis of stretching with heat compared to stretching without heat found that many different kinds of heat induction produced a greater range of motion than stretching without heat. Another study found that Hot Yoga increased hip flexion more than other room temperature yoga. Interestingly though range of motion in the other joints was improved just as well with room temperature yoga.
