Ashtanga who?

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.

Who knew there were so many?  They all have their merits so choose the one that suits your personality and dosha.
