8 New Ways to Workout

Hot yoga meets power flow in this 80-minute class that features both balancing and energizing poses—and music!

The heated room (100 to 105 degrees) promotes calorie burning, and the sequence of poses improves posture, balance, alignment and core strength. Plus, the deep breathing encouraged in Sumits Yoga (sumitsyoga.com) can help stimulate the relaxation response, a major plus for frazzled new moms.

Modifications: Do what feels right, not what the person next to you is doing.
