Summary:
Confused about the various types of yoga? This guide will help you find the right style for you.

Yoga is increasingly popular in the Western world, with more classes and diverse styles available. From Hatha to Ashtanga, Power, Iyengar, Bikram, and Vinyasa, the choices can be overwhelming. Here, we'll explore some of the most popular types to help you find the best fit.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga, a gentle and slow-paced style, is ideal for beginners. In Sanskrit, 'Ha' means sun and 'tha' means moon. This type focuses on balancing mind, body, and spirit through basic poses called asanas.Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga, meaning 'eight limbs' in Sanskrit, is a fast-paced and intense practice. It involves a set sequence of poses synchronized with breath, enhancing stamina, flexibility, and strength. It’s demanding but rewarding for those seeking a vigorous workout.Power Yoga
Power Yoga is a Western adaptation of Ashtanga. Unlike Ashtanga with its set sequence, Power Yoga varies in poses but maintains a dynamic, continuous flow, providing a strong physical workout.Iyengar Yoga
Founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, this style emphasizes precision and alignment. Poses are held longer, and props like blocks and straps help achieve proper form. It’s suitable for those looking to improve posture and alignment.Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa, which means 'breath-synchronized movement,' is a fast-paced style focusing on fluid transitions. Beginning with sun salutations, it progresses to deeper stretches, ensuring each pose is counterbalanced.Bikram Yoga
Commonly known as Hot Yoga, Bikram is practiced in a heated room (105°F, 40% humidity). It involves a sequence of 26 poses designed to detoxify as you sweat, increase flexibility, and build strength.---
If you’re new to yoga, try different styles to see what resonates with you. There’s no need to commit to just one type. While I prefer Ashtanga, I also enjoy the variety offered by Iyengar and Hatha classes. Explore and discover what works best for you!
