Hatha Yoga
Hatha, in Sanskrit, is an umbrella term for all physical postures of yoga. In the western world, this type of yoga simply refers to all the other styles of yoga like Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc., that are related to physical practice. This is the most popular type and has numerous styles. For beginners, Hatha is recommended.

Iyengar Yoga

Kundalini Yoga
A combination of spiritual and physical practice, this type of yoga is all about releasing the kundalini energy in your body, which is usually trapped in the lower spine. The classes of Kundalini Yoga involve chanting, mantra and meditation.

Ashtanga Yoga
A term of Sanskrit, “Ashtanga” means eight-limb path. This type demands a physical sequence of postures, so definitely not for a beginner. Ashtanga consist of five sun salutation A’s along with five sun salutation B’s and then a sequence of standing and floor postures are done. This is a famous type in Mysore, India.

Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa….to place in a special way but in the case of yoga, it means postures. This type is considered the most athletic yoga style. Adopted from Ashtanga yoga in the 1980s, in these classes, the movements are coordinated with your breath and movement to flow from one pose to another.
