There are different types of hot yoga but the most widely recognized is probably Bikram yoga. A studio needs to follow a specific method of instruction and purchase the right to use the Bikram name. The benefit is that you know what to expect each class, the draw back (depending on your preference) is that each class is the same. Note that many other non-Bikram certified studios will still follow an almost identical series of poses, just ask. There are other popular styles such as Moksha Yoga, and with the rising popularity of yoga everywhere you can probably find lots of different hot yoga studios to try.
