Each style of yoga is based on up to 906 different asanas. Therefore, it is impractical to even begin to list them here. However, a brief description is listed below to give you a better idea of which style of yoga might be most beneficial to you.
Ashtanga yoga provides brief explosions of movement, giving the individual an intense workout. It is based on a pre-determined set of asanas based on the Sun Salutations. It is mostly recommended for those under 35 or 40 years of age because of its aerobic intensity.
Bikrim yoga is also known as hot yoga as it is done in a room with a temperature of about 110 degrees Celsius. Because of this it is very intense and goes through a set of 26 asanas twice during a workout.
Iyengar yoga is known as the purist form of yoga since it focuses almost exclusively on posture position and poses.
Kundalini yoga is done to create energy in the base of the spine. The asanas are a series of hand and body movements which, if not done properly can create physical and emotional problems.
Power yoga is for those who find astanga yoga too intense or difficult. It was designed by those taught by Guru Jois who wanted a more accessible yoga style for active individuals.
