Hatha Yoga is a broad term encompassing various physical postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama) aimed at aligning the body and mind. It focuses on balance, flexibility, and strength. Bikram Yoga, on the other hand, is a specific form of hot yoga consisting of a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises practiced in a heated room.
