7 Different Types Of Yoga And Their Benefits

Ashtanga Yoga - Not to be confused with Patanjali’s
eight-limbed path to yoga, Ashtanga Yoga is a system
of yoga created by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. It is known to
be one of the most physically challenging versions of
yoga. These series are to be practiced six days a
week, except for moon days—days of the new and full
moon—during which the practitioner will rest.
The Ashtanga style is usually a self-practice. It is done
under the Mysore style, which requires a teacher to
assist the student into poses. Students discover when
they are ready to move on to the next series, much
like achieving different belts in karate. Ashtanga
consists of six series, and very few people have made
it to the final one.

Kundalini Yoga - Kundalini was brought to the
United States in 1968 by Yogi Bhajan. It’s called the
yoga of awareness and is considered the most
spiritual practice that exists today.
Kundalini refers to the energy that lies dormant at the
base of the spine. Practicing meditation, breath work,
mantra, dance, and asana raises this energy up the
spine and out through the chakras. (A mantra is a
chant that supports meditation. A chakra is a point of
energy in the human body). The goal of Kundalini is to
create a sense of well-being and heightened
awareness.

Hatha Yoga - Hatha is the most widely practiced
form of yoga, combining movement with conscious
breathing. This system was developed by Yogi
Swatmarama to develop strength and flexibility using a
set of physical postures. These poses are meant to
align the skin, muscles, and bones of the body.

Bikram Yoga is a set sequence of 26 postures and two
breathing exercises. It is meant to restore the body to
its proper working order, creating a sense of good
health, proper weight, muscle tone, and flexibility.
Bikram Yoga is practiced under a strict set of
guidelines, which includes a room heated to 105
degrees with 40 percent humidity. Only teachers who
have trained under Bikram can teach the Bikram
method.

Raja Yoga - Raja yoga is sometimes referred to as
Royal yoga. It is known as the yoga of the mind. The
premise of the practice is this: The mind controls the
world. Controlling the mind makes it possible to control
the world around us. The biggest part of the practice is
meditation. Other techniques are included, such as
asana and breath work. These are meant to teach
practitioners to calm their minds and bring them to one
point of focus.

Iyengar Yoga - Iyengar is based on the eight limbs of
yoga described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras . Founded
by BKS Iyengar in 1937, Iyengar is a system of
postures that focuses on alignment and breath control.
It is a form of Hatha yoga that is characterized by its
great attention to detail. Iyengar was one of the first
teachers to use props in order to make yoga more
accessible to everyone—beginners, advanced,
seniors, those who are ill, and all others.
