Am I correct in thinking that hot yoga is doing the movements in a hotter

I hear the term a lot, but not sure I completely understand.
I'm going to research yoga options in my area.

I go to a hot yoga studio. The instructors give good directions and offer
hands on adjustments to help you get more out of the poses. There are self
