How to Compare Different Types of Yoga
- You will feel strong and powerful with Ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga and its North American spin-off power yoga will leave you sweating and feeling like you worked out.
- Iyengar yoga is perfect if you want to get it right. With an emphasis on alignment you'll use blocks, straps, and other props to get your poses down pat.
- Bikram yoga will lead you through 26 poses in a room that is heated up to 100 degrees. The extra heat is believed to help you stretch more easily.
- Sivananda yoga teaches you yoga poses along with chanting, meditation, and the healthy benefits of a vegetarian diet. Sivananda is more of a lifestyle than just a form of exercise.
