Confused about the different styles of yoga? I have been practicing for many years and only recently discovered the difference between the several to choose from. Here is the readers digest version.
- Ashtanga-is a gymnastic style developed by Pattabhi, a student of one of the original yoga masters.
- Bikram-hot yoga that more resembles boot camp than yoga.
- Hatha-the ancient classic.
- Iyengar-the modern classic.
- Kundalini-the heavy breathing style popularized by a Sikh mystic.
- Power-an aggressive form of Ashtanga.
- Vinyasa-a flowing style developed relatively late in life by a yogi and popularized by his student, Srivatsa Ramaswami.
