Ashtanga Yoga

Hatha Yoga - in Sanskrit (an aged classical language of India) "Ha" means "sun" and "tha" means "moon". This type of Yoga is relatively slow paced, gentle type of Yoga and is a good place to start if you are completely new to Yoga and don't know any of the asanas (poses). Like all types of Yoga, Hatha Yoga aims to unite the mind, body and spirit.

Ashtanga Yoga - this is the type of Yoga that I convention on a regular basis and means "eight limbs" in Sanskrit. It's a fast moving, intense style of Yoga convention and is based on a progressive set sequence of asanas, synchronized with the breath. Ashtanga Yoga can be quite physically demanding as you permanently move from one asana in the sequence to the next, so you'll find that it will improve your durableness as well as your flexibility and strength..

Power Yoga - this is a western interpretation of Yoga and is based on Ashtanga Yoga. A Power Yoga class may not necessarily stick to the exact sequence of poses like Ashtanga Yoga does, but it does involve practicing a series of poses without stopping and starting.

Iyengar Yoga - This type of Yoga is based on teachings by B.K.S Igengar and concentrates on the definite alignment and form of the body. Unlike Ashtanga Yoga, there is an emphasis on keeping each pose for a long period of time rather than sharp permanently from one pose to the next. Iyengar Yoga uses props such as blocks and straps to help align the body into the separate poses.

Vinyasa Yoga - Vinyasa means breath synchronized movement and is other fast paced type of Yoga, with an emphasis on breathing. A convention typically starts with sun salutations and moves on to more intense stretching. Throughout the convention each pose is balanced with a counter pose.

Bikram Yoga - otherwise known as "Hot Yoga", is practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees, with a humidity of colse to 40%. Commonly a sequence of 26 separate poses is practiced during a Bikram Yoga class and the hot temperature helps to loosen muscles. Due to the high temperature most people sweat a lot during the class and this helps to cleanse the body of toxins.

If you're just beginning out or have never done any Yoga before, I advise trying a few separate types of yoga to find out what you like best.

Remember, there's no rule that says you have to stick to one type of Yoga. I like Ashtanga Yoga best, but I also go to occasional Iyengar and Hatha Yoga classes for a bit of variety.
