Various types of yoga

Yoga becomes more and more a popular activity in the western world today. The holding number of places of the classes of yoga is in increase and there is a plethora of various types of yoga. With a choice of yoga of Hatha, of yoga of Ashtanga, yoga of power, yoga of Iyengar, yoga of Bikram, yoga of Vinyasa and of much more it can be easy to become confused

The article will help you to thus include/understand the difference between the most popular types of yoga you can choose which type is exact for you.

Yoga of Hatha - in (an ancient traditional language of India) ha Sanskrit means that the sun and the tha mean the moon. This type of yoga standard is involved and soft relatively slow of yoga and is a good place to be started if you are completely new with yoga and do not know asanas the ones of (installations). Like all the types of yoga, the yoga of Hatha aims at linking the spirit, the body and the spirit.

Yoga of Ashtanga - it is the type of yoga that I practise systematically and means eight members in Sanskrit. It is a fast and intense model of practice as regards yoga and is based on an overall progressive order of the asanas, synchronized with the breath. The yoga of Ashtanga can be completely physically demanding as you constantly movement of a asana in the order with next, thus you will note that it will improve your strength as well as your flexibility and forces.

Yoga of power - it is a Western interpretation of yoga and is based on the yoga of Ashtanga. A class of yoga of power cannot necessarily stick to the exact order of the installations like yoga of made Ashtanga, but it implies to practise a series of installations without stopping and starting.

Yoga of Iyengar - this type of yoga is based on lesson by B.K.S Igengar and concentrates on the correct alignment and the shape of the body. With the difference of the yoga of Ashtanga, there is a emphase on rather holding each installation for one long period than moving installation constantly with the next one. Bearing pedestal bridge of uses of yoga of Iyengar such as blocks and belts to help to align the body in the various installations.

Yoga of Vinyasa - Vinyasa means the movement synchronized by breath and is another fast type trained of yoga, with a emphase on breathing. A practice starts typically with greetings of the sun and passes to a more intense drawing. In all the practice each installation is balanced with against installation.

Yoga of Bikram - otherwise known as a hot yoga, is practised in a room of heating to 105 degrees, with a moisture approximately of 40%. Generally an order of 26 different installations is practised during a class of yoga of Bikram and the hot temperature helps to detach from the muscles. Because of the temperature that the majority of the people sweat much during the class and this helps to clean the body of toxins.

If you start just or never made any front yoga, I recommend to test some various types of yoga to discover what you like the best.

You recall, there are not any rule which indicates that you must stick to a type of yoga. I like the yoga of better Ashtanga, but I also go to the occasional classes of yoga of Iyengar and Hatha for a little variety.
