In light of my surgery and subsequent hiatus during recovery I thought I'd visit some yoga basics. There are several styles in yoga practice and below are some basics on each one provided from
lululemon. Generally, I prefer Vinyasa since it flows the moves together while still putting focus on the restoritive value of each pose. But whatever style you practice I believe the results to be invaluable.
- Antigravity: Fluid, acrobatic yoga... in a hammock.
- Anusara: Playful. Expect to laugh and go upside down.
- Ashtanga: Athletic and vigorous.
- Bikram: Consistent poses in a very heated studio.
- Hatha: Foundation for many yoga styles. Great for beginners.
- Hot: Make sure to bring a towel -- or two!
- Iyengar: With a focus on structure, usually uses blocks, straps for support.
- Kundalini: Focused on meditation and breathing.
- Power/Flow/Vinyasa: An athletic and physically challenging style.
- Pre- and Post-natal: Gentle Hatha yoga is ideal for pregnant women to help lower stress.
- Yin: A slow class that will take you deeper than you've ever gone.
