So you want to start yoga and you’ve been to your local yoga studio’s website and are completely overwhelmed with the choices?  How do you know what style of yoga is right for you? Isn’t yoga just yoga?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to say that I am not a big fan of categorising yoga as to me \u201cyoga is yoga\u201d and in the West typically only the approach to asana, the physical, practice (which is only one of the eight limbs of yoga) is different. At the end of the day it all depends on your teacher<\/a>. Where he or she was trained, their personality, how they practice and who they are influenced by. <\/p>\n

If you go to a yoga studio, however, you will be presented with a vast amount of choice so it\u2019s good to know what you can roughly expect! So hopefully the below will help you to find out which style of yoga class is right for you. <\/p>\n

Ashtanga Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> Made popular by Patthabi Jois, a student of Sri T Krishnamacharya. 6 fixed sequences \u2013 usually the primary sequence is practiced in regular yoga classes. Very demanding and physically challenging yoga practice.<\/p>\n

Suits you if:<\/strong> you like a fixed routine, you want a challenging and athletic yoga practice<\/p>\n

Bikram Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> invented by Bikram Choudhury in the early 1970s, 90 minute classes that consist of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, practiced in 40 degrees heat and high humidity.<\/p>\n

Suits you if:<\/strong> like heat (!), are not afraid to sweat a lot, like a fixed routine and a challenging yoga practice. You can read more about my experience of Bikram Yoga here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hatha Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> hatha can be translated as \u201cforceful\u201d or ha = sun and tha=moon which refers to the balancing of two energies.<\/p>\n

Hatha Yoga is actually the physical part of yoga so all the styles listed here are actually subcategories of Hatha Yoga. When the term Hatha Yoga is used to describe a class it\u2019s usually a more gentle and meditative style.<\/p>\n

Suits you if:<\/strong> you are a complete beginner, you want a gentle and relaxing yoga practice, you don\u2019t want a fixed routine but learn a variety of yoga postures<\/p>\n

Iyengar Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it: <\/strong>based on the teachings of BKS Iyengar, another student of Sri T Krishnamacharya, who is often considered to be the father of modern yoga. Iyengar yoga is very precise, based on correct alignment and considered to be challenging yet very safe practice. A lot of props like blocks, bricks, belts, blankets etc are usually used to make poses accessible.<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you like a detailed practice, you have specific postural problems or back conditions that you want to work on, you like working with props, you want a style of yoga that is accessible to all levels and body types.<\/p>\n

Jivamukti Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> holistic yoga practice that includes a vinyasa style practice, chanting, meditation and yogic teachings<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you want to learn more about yoga philosophy, spiritual practice and yoga in general. Suitable for all levels and anyone with an open mind!<\/p>\n

Kundalini Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> introduced to the west by Yogi Bhajan, combination of pranayma, meditation, mantra and asana practice. The focus is on the awakening of kundalini energy<\/a><\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you are looking for a spiritual practice that includes all aspects of yoga<\/p>\n

Restorative Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> very gently and passive style of yoga which is used to consciously relax the body involving lots of props like bolsters and blankets. It involved in staying in supported poses any time from 5-20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you want to destress and relax your mind and tensed muscles<\/p>\n

Sivananda Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it: <\/strong>very specific style of teaching after Swami Sivananda, standard routine of asanas and breathing exercises but not as physically demanding as Ashtanga or Bikram Yoga. Based on 5 principles of asana, pranayama (breathing exercise), relaxation, proper diet (vegetarian) and positive thoughts<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you like routine, you want a more gentle yoga practice, you are open to the spiritual side of yoga<\/p>\n

Scaravelli Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it: <\/strong>inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, gentle but actually really demanding style of yoga at the same time that uses gravity and sophisticated knowledge of anatomy to release tension in the muscles around the spine.<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you are interested in anatomy and a detailed practice, you have back problems such as scoliosis or other conditions.<\/p>\n

SUP Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it: <\/strong>SUP stands for stand-up-paddle-board! And that’s what it is – yoga on a stand-up-paddle-board! It’s pretty much like any other Hatha or Vinyasa class except for that there is the added challenge of trying not to fall in the water! <\/p>\n

I’m curious by nature so of course I had to try this! You can read more about my experience<\/a> here. <\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you like being on a stand-up-paddle board and don’t mind getting wet!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinyasa Flow Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> quite fast paced type of class where movement is synchronised with the breath. Challenging and athletic but includes a variety of yoga postures and no fixed routine.<\/p>\n

Suits you if:<\/strong> you are looking for a fast paced fitness type class. There is usually not much time for detail so it\u2019s better suited to people who are in very good health and are already familiar with the basic yoga postures.<\/p>\n

Yin Yoga<\/h3>\n

What is it:<\/strong> inspired by Chinese Taoist Yoga teachings. Postures are held between 2 and 5 minutes \u2013 sometimes up to 20 minutes. Slow and meditative, challenging for both the body and the mind \u2013 especially if you struggle with patience!<\/p>\n

Suits you if: <\/strong>you are anxious, stressed and in need of a really good stretch! Great for anyone who does competitive sports or other \u201cYang\u201d like activities to get your system back into balance.<\/p>\n

I would say the above are probably the main type of classes that are available in the UK. Do let me know if I missed anything out and I will add it on the list!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
