Choosing a Yoga Class

Practicing yoga can reduce stress and increase strength, flexibility

and overall well-being. There are many different types to choose

from. Here are some of the more popular.

Hatha: A series of poses (asanas) and breathing practices, often the

starting point for yoga students.

Ashtanga: Provides a vigorous workout with a fast-paced cycle of

poses.

Bikram: Turns up the heat–literally–so practitioners sweat the

toxins from their bodies, benefiting circulation and the immune

system.

Kundalini: Awakens the psychic centers (chakras) through poses,

breathing techniques, chanting and meditation.
