hot yoga

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweaty exercise' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'popular years past making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'hot' (hot can mean popular or trendy).
'years' becomes 'y' (abbreviation).
'past' becomes 'ago' (similar in meaning).
'making a comeback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'ago' backwards is 'oga'.
'hot'+'y'+'oga'='HOT YOGA'

'very' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
