Types of Yoga

There are different types of yoga according to levels and needs. Here a few common ones:

Yoga for Beginners

The commonly known and taught yoga style is Hatha Yoga. This style involves the practice of physical yoga postures and is geared towards connecting the body with the mind through breathing to help put your being in a relaxed state.

The Hatha Yoga has the best yoga poses amongst its poses, such as the cross-legged pose with your hands on your knees, and lotus pose.

Hatha yoga is recommended for yoga for beginners classes because it helps you start with the easiest yoga poses until you advance to the complex ones.

Yoga for Stress

If you are only particular about eliminating stress, Vishranta yoga is the appropriate form of yoga for you. It involves the practice of some quite simple yoga poses and self-aware breathing techniques to help you be in the consciousness of your body.

The frequent practice of Vishranta yoga can help you cope when you are in a highly stressful state.

It is built on Ashtanga yoga and the yoga exercises are not recommended as yoga poses for beginners. it is also recommended as one of the yoga workouts for weight loss.

How to know a yoga teacher that’s good for you?

A true yogi doesn’t wait to practice yoga until it’s time to teach a yoga class. Instead, he or she practices yoga regularly whether they have a class to teach or not because this is for his own personal growth. And how can a teacher become better at his craft if he doesn’t improve himself regularly?

That’s because yoga exercises are no ordinary physical exercise, it includes meditation techniques and mindfulness for personal well-being.

A good yoga instructor is always thoughtful and makes the safety of their students a priority. This they can do by acquainting themselves with their students’ limits before and during the yoga lessons to prevent them from carrying out yoga positions that can harm them, given that a lot of yoga poses will need a lot of flexibility to be achieved.

Advantages of private yoga classes

If you want to learn yoga at your own pace instead of fitting your schedule around yoga, then private yoga classes are to your advantage.

Your schedule may not fit into a set yoga studio timetable and this can hinder you from attending classes as you are supposed to – not to talk of the payment of monthly fees that are wasting away.
