The study investigated the efficacy of 12 weeks of heated and thermoneutral Bikram yoga in reducing arterial stiffness in middle-aged adults. Fifty-four sedentary adults (ages 40-60 years) completed 12 weeks of yoga at 40.5 °C (n = 21), yoga at 23 °C (n = 14) or time control (n = 19). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) was not significantly altered by hot or thermoneutral yoga interventions.
