HIIT yoga is a combination of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and yoga asana practice. HIIT is a popular method of exercising with bursts of intense (100 percent effort) anaerobic exercise followed by brief recovery periods. It is believed to burn fat more quickly by keeping the heart rate up, thereby requiring more oxygen during the recovery periods.
HIIT yoga is designed to build strength as well as burn fat. Like HIIT sessions, HIIT yoga practice typically lasts less than 30 minutes and often just 15 to 20 minutes.
