\"WhatYoga has been practiced for thousands of years. As any practice does, it has evolved so many ways into many diverse styles. All of these yoga styles have a unique purpose and bring something different into our study of Ayurveda. If you’re trying to determine which yoga style is best for you, it’s essential to remember that there is no “right” or “wrong” style, just ones that aren’t right for you at this moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Honestly, one of the most critical questions when trying to figure out which yoga style is right for you is: what class motivates you? Sure, there are yoga styles that might help you, specifically, more than others, but the class you enjoy, the class giving you the motivation to roll out your mat, is the most valuable style for you. That being said, let’s discuss a couple of different yoga styles.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Yoga Style Is Right For You?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vinyasa Yoga<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vinyasa yoga dates back as far as 200 B.C. when instructors taught the 8 limbed yoga disciplines involving mental and physical conditioning and meditation. Since then, practitioners of this yoga style have refined the techniques to include more movement with intentional breath, as opposed to other types of yoga where you remain in poses while breathing. The vinyasa is the movement between asanas, so as you move from one pose to another, you have completed one vinyasa.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinyasa yoga is best for those who want more movement and less stillness. This yoga style has poses that link breath and movement in a rhythmic flow that becomes almost meditative. Vinyasa is great for calming the mind and nervous system through vigorous exercise. The Vinyasa yoga style’s physical strain and increased breathing create more heat, and therefore more sweat, which purifies your body and mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashtanga Yoga<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ashtanga yoga also dates back to around 200 B.C., to an ancient book known as the Yoga Korunta, written by Vamana Rishi. Practitioners began to study the Yoga Korunta further in the late 1880s. In the 1930s, a man named <\/span>T. Krishnamacharya<\/span><\/a> created the Ashtanga Yoga style we know today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice. Ashtanga means 8 limbs because the practice is an 8-part method.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashtanga yoga is a very physical but also spiritual practice. This style of yoga is one of the only kinds where no music is played during class. Ashtanga yoga consists of 6 series of specific poses in a particular order. An instructor only gives a student one pose at a time until they master it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yin Yoga<\/span><\/h3>\n

While a man named Paul Grilley has popularised Yin Yoga, he attributes its origin to 3 separate lines:<\/span><\/p>\n
