There are many types of hot yoga which originated from Bikram Yoga. These include Moksha Yoga, Barkan Method, etc

Ted Grand, a Bikram trained teacher, founded Moksha Hot Yoga in Canada. Moksha Yoga follows similar pricicples, however, has some major differences. In Moksha Yoga, the room is not as hot or humid as Bikram Yoga; it is not a consistant length of time; it doesn't follow a script; it doesn't follow a prescribe series of postures and the training for Moksah Yoga teachers is much shorter than the 9 week training Bikram Yoga teachers are required to attend in order to become a certified Bikram Yoga Teacher.

Moksha Yoga is a form of hot yoga that is ideal for the yoga beginner as well as the seasoned practitioner. Every Moksha Yoga class takes you through a series of strengthening and toning postures in the detoxifying calm of a heated studio. There are Moksha Yoga studios across Canada and abroad.

Jimmy Barkan, creator of the Barkan Method, a hot vinyasa series of postures. The Barkan Method also shares it roots in Bikram Yoga. Jimmy Barkan began as a Bikram Yoga certified teacher before moving on.

The Barkan Method is a style of Hatha Yoga that originated from a lineage in Calcutta, India. The Barkan Method finds its roots from this lineage in Calcutta, but also integrates postures from other styles of Yoga to create variations and even greater range of motion. The yoga classes are practiced in a heated room to stretch and strengthen various areas of the body. The practice brings vital balance and restores all systems to optimal health. Consistency will create a physical, mental and spiritual harmony that will be felt in all areas of the practitioner's life.

Lady Gaga showed off her rocking body rocking the Grammy awards. The monster mega star and New York native gets her monster abs working out at Bikram Yoga Lower East Side -- in her old neighborhood.

She mostly does private sessions in which the world's hottest star strips down to her red undies for one hot workout in nearly 105-degree heat. Her almost daily routine lasts 90 minutes.

Before making it big, Gaga -- then known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta -- lived in a building on the Lower East Side on Staton Street.

We went up to her old second floor walk-up apartment to see if we could get a peak at the stars old digs, but no one answered.

The artist known for her artistic fashion sense shopped at Convent two weeks ago to buy some unique pieces from a local designer -- Sally LaPointe.

Around the corner, at the Remedy Diner Gaga has been spotted at her favorite corner booth ordering food and writing music.

No matter how much the paparazzi follow her and how world-renowned she becomes, Gaga hasn't forgotten her favorite city haunts.
