Most folks are doing one or the other. The heat you talk about in Bikram Yoga is to me like taking pain killers before class so I cannot "feel" where my body requires work, the tension you feel is because your re-educated muscles, recruiting muscles that have been getting away without working. Heat, painkillers, reduce sensitivity to the body and its actually state. So the weak areas continue to stay weak and the overstretched areas continue to be overstretched.

I know I have had the same experiences. One thing I have done to help me is to let the teacher know before hand. For example "Last week, I had a pinchy lower back after class." The teacher can then give you better cues and maybe remind you to engage the legs or whatever it is that you need to be mindful of. Most teachers teach because they want to help you. A dialogue between the student and teacher is the only fair way to expect someone to assist your needs. It is unfortunate to come out of a yoga class with pain.
