People who do Yoga, they always tell you "you have to take Yoga, it is the best thing for your body." But, which Yoga is the right one for you? Before you decide on sticking to one Yoga type, it would be a good idea to try all of the most popular styles. Here are the most popular Yoga types and what they encompass:
Hatha Yoga: it encompass many types of Yoga and it's said to be the mother of all Yogas. These classes are slow-paced anf gentle. Hatha Yoga is great for beginners as they have time to learn all the poses, and also pregnant women who want to keep fit without the streneous cardiovascular o weight workouts.
Vinyasa Yoga: it is based on a series of poses called sun salutations in which movement is closely coordinated with breathing. Vinyasa Yoga tends to be vigorous and require more experiece as coordinating breathing while holding a pose and transitioning to another can be challenging.
Ashtanga and Power Yoga: these can be physically demanding because they require constant and rapid movement from one pose to the other with no breaks in between.
Kundalini Yoga: it requires to hold poses for longer periods of time, and uses rapid and repetitive movements while emphasizing breathing control as well. This Yoga can be very meditative and usually involves a call-and-response chanting between the instructor and participants.
Bikram Yoga: this Yoga is always 90 minutes long in 95-100 degrees acclimated roomand high humidity.. A series of 26 poses is always done in the same order. The highly heated room and the order of the 26 poses help loosen tight muscles while cleansing the body with profuse sweating.
I personally love Bikram Yoga because after a class you feel such harmony between your mind, body and spirit, plus it is an amazing workout. However, as mentioned earlier, before sticking to one Yoga type, try them all and then decide. Usually, the best place to take good true Yoga is at a Yoga Studio.
