Getting to know the different styles of yoga

• There are so many different types of yoga exist
  and it can be difficult to figure out which
  particular style is right for you and your yoga
  practice, whether you want a more physically
  demanding class or an easy, relaxing, meditative
  class.
• By practicing yoga on a regular basis, you may be
  surprised to find that you're building much more
  than a strong, flexible body.

5 Most popular styles of Yoga

• Here are the five most popular Yoga styles.
• HATHA
• VINYASA
• YIN
• KUNDALINI
• BIKRAM

HATHA

• Hatha classes are usually a good place to start a
  yoga practice because it tends to be more low
  key, and slower paced. It focuses on basic
  postures, such as downward-facing dog or the
  warrior poses and breathing tends to be rhythmic.
  Hatha is also a good practice for anyone looking
  for a good stretch or to work on their alignment.

VINYASA

• Vinyasa tends to be a more vigorous practice,
  incorporating a series of poses called sun
  salutations. Each movement of the sun salutation
  is matched to the breath. A typical class would
  see an instructor taking you through a number of
  sun salutations to warm up the body before moving
  to intense stretching.

6
YIN

• A meditative practice that lets your body get
  comfortable, focusing on lengthening the
  connective tissues in the body. Its meant to
  compliment muscle-forming yoga practices, letting
  the tired muscles relax with gravity and rest.
  Yin is usually performed with the assistance of
  props with little or no music in class. While
  its restorative, you need to exercise patience
  to stay in postures for longer periods of time.

KUNDALINI

• Kundalini yoga is a combination of breath,
  movement and sound. Deriving from the Sanskirt
  term kundal which translates to coiled energy,
  the idea of Kundalini stems from the belief that
  we all have energy gathered at the base of our
  spine, and through the practice, we bring it up
  and through the seven chakras. You tend to hold
  each posture for an extended period, sometimes up
  to five minutes and youll also be taken through
  chanting, and meditation.

BIKRAM

• Bikram Yoga is a system of hot yoga. Pioneered by
  Bikram Choudhury whos more than just a little
  bit infamous in the yoga world, Bikram yoga is
  practiced in a heated room. The heat loosens up
  tight muses and facilitates profuse sweating,
  which is thought to be cleansing. The Bikram
  method is a set of 26 poses, although not all
  classes practice this.
