Yogaloft Vienna
Bikram yoga is all the rage these days. It’s a challenging style that involves practicing your moves in a humid, high-temperature room. The benefits range from increased flexibility to low risk of injury. Yogaloft, a well-established studio in the 4th district, also offers Bikram, with 90-minute sessions in 40 °C temperature (104 °F). For those wanting to push themselves even further, there is a Yin yoga class: an intense form that combines knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine with Hatha yoga.
