Some of the most well-known types of yoga include:
Hatha yoga is one of the most ancient forms of yoga and is one of the most popular branches of yoga in the Western world. The practice of Hatha yoga can be applied regardless of weight, age, and abilities, and is ideal for beginners.
It is a more dynamic type of yoga, specifically consisting of asanas (physical postures) performed in a continuous flow and in combination with breath. Emphasis is placed on transitions between poses, increasing intensity and energy. Physical endurance and balance improve, heart rate increases, promoting good blood circulation for heart health, and stress is reduced.
This yoga practice resembles more of a discipline than exercise. It is designed to strengthen the connective tissues of joints and tendons, as well as ligaments. However, this doesn’t mean it is less demanding. In Yin Yoga classes, each pose is held for 3 to 7 minutes, allowing the stretching to reach even the deeper tissues. It is an excellent method for addressing anxiety and cultivating balance between the mind, spirit, and body.
Yoga Nidra is a meditation practice that has been used for centuries. This technique aims to help you enter deep states of relaxation by calming the mind and harmonizing the body’s natural rhythms. Yoga Nidra brings about complete physical, emotional, and mental relaxation.
Prenatal yoga is much more than just a yoga class for pregnant women; it is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself and the growing fetus within you. It is a specially designed program that prepares you both physically and mentally for the beautiful journey into motherhood. All the exercises are 100% safe for both the mother and the fetus, and it is equally beneficial whether you have previous experience in yoga or not.
Partner yoga does not require prior experience in yoga, and you can also find a partner in the class. These classes have a lively atmosphere and cultivate cooperation with oneself and others through ‘asanas’ (yoga poses), using emotions such as trust, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect, and many more.
