Hatha Yoga is the most widely practiced forms of yoga and is often referred to as basic yoga. It’s a simple, slow paced style of yoga and because of this, it’s very ideal for beginners.

2. Bikram Yoga
Bikram Yoga is often referred to as Hot Yoga and was created by the yoga guru Birkam Choudhary. It is practiced in a hot room with an average temperature of 35-38 degrees celsius 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit and includes 26 poses which are focussed on proper alignment. The heat lubricates your joints and enhances the flexibility of your muscles.
3. Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, free flowing yoga style that builds your stamina and energy levels. It is one of the most physically demanding styles of yoga and a great choice if you want to lose weight or boost your overall fitness levels.
4. Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga is a style of yoga that focusses on flow. It emphasizes the sun salutation and aims to synchronize your body movements with your breathing. Vinyasa yoga movements are very smooth and each pose connects to the next with either an inhale or an exhale.
5. Power Yoga
Power Yoga is very similar to Ashtanga Yoga but does not have a strict sequence of poses and is performed in a faster, more intense style. It is a top choice if you want to build strength and flexibility, but if you’re interested in the spiritual side of yoga other styles may suit you better.
