Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga is an ancient form of yoga that translates to “8 limbs”, referring to eight steps on this path that purify the body and mind. This science is a sequence of postures connected with vinyasa yoga, the yoga of movement, to build heat in the body. The postures have a very consistent dynamic to stretch and strengthen the body while allowing every conscious breath to flow and energize the body. The duration of an Ashtanga class usually takes around 45 minutes. Source: https://www.yogabasics.com/learn/ashtanga-yoga/

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga is ancient art and science that practices awakening the dormant energy at the base of the spine until it is activated and channeled upward through each of the seven chakras. It is a science of awareness that includes the energies of the physical, mental, and nervous systems of the body. The practice of Kundalini yoga combines the breath, mudra (hand postures), eye-focus, and mantras (sacred sounds) to bring balance to the nervous systems. A Kundalini yoga class can consist of one or a few different body postures that can vary from the standard eleven minutes up to an hour or more. Kundalini yoga embeds a deep philosophy of living a balanced lifestyle to be happy, healthy, and holy. Source: https://www.3ho.org/kundalini-yoga

Hatha Yoga

The word “Hatha” in Sanskrit means “forceful” and represents a system of physical techniques. During this yoga class, one is practicing reaching a state of balance. The traditional Hatha yoga not only offers the possibility of having strong physic. It also teaches the philosophy of balancing the mind by incorporating external & internal experiences as a path of peace. Yoga classes of Hatha yoga are usually around an hour or more.

Raya Yoga

Raja yoga is one of the oldest yoga sciences that teaches how to empty the mind and gain the power of complete concentration. In the teachings of Raja yoga, your mind is a powerful tool. This type of yoga works on training the physical aspects of the body through Hatha yoga. For this practice, you have to be persistent and patient to sit for a longer time in a state of meditation. A typical Raja yoga class is usually more than one and a half hours. The first part consists of Hatha yoga for about one hour, bringing balance to your body. The next part reveals the philosophy of Raja yoga. And the last part of the class consists of meditation practices. Source: https://www.atmaforyou.com/post/the-four-yogas-what-is-raja-yoga

Yin Yoga

It is a newer form of yoga founded by Paul Grilley in the 1970s to help people to relax deeply. Yin yoga uses the postures of Hatha yoga, knowledge of anatomy, and the workings of the meridians to soften all the connected tissues in the body. By holding the postures longer, people experience a deep sense of relaxation during classes. This yoga suits people who would take a step back and work on healing the body and mind.

Power Yoga

Power yoga is a relatively new form of yoga created in 1995 by Beryl Bender Birch to increase physical strength and endurance. This type of yoga is a form of Vinyasa yoga that has its roots in Ashtanga yoga. It focused on having a quick cardiovascular workout with core characteristics such as strength building and a set of aerobics. Moreover, the focus is less on creating calmness or restoration but on explosiveness and core strength. On average, Power yoga takes around 45 minutes and is accompanied by joyful music to keep the active rhythm.
