I haven’t taken an actual Bikram class, but once, my regular teacher (who teaches a Iyengar/Anusara style practice), turned up the heat in her yoga studio.
The room temperature probably only got up to about 30 celsius — no where near traditional Bikram temp of 38 or higher.
However, we were all quickly sweating, and I can affirm that with the additional room heat, my muscles felt noticeable more loose and flexible.
I was able to stretch with more ease, and deeper into, a lot of poses.
I have heard that large Bikram classes, if the class has a full capacity of students, it can become quite aromatic with everyone sweating so much.
