Yoga has arrived in Harlem and its not your mother's yoga class either. Bikram Yoga is a version of the ancient form of stretching that is done in heated rooms to encourage sweating. Fans of Bikram get a physical workout and also believe that the extra sweating helps cleanse the body. Uptown yoga enthusiast, new and old, should check out the East Harlem studio at 4 East 116th Street, between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue (on the 2nd floor). Tel. (212) 369-1830. www.bikramyogaeastharlem.com
