There are many different types of yoga, each with its own unique benefits and focus. The most popular forms include Hatha, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Restorative, Kundalini, and Bikram. Each type of yoga has a slightly different approach to physical and spiritual practice. Hatha is an ancient form of yoga that focuses on breathing techniques, relaxation, and gentle poses. Vinyasa emphasizes fluid movement between postures, while Iyengar encourages precision and alignment. Ashtanga is a dynamic sequence of poses that can be practiced either as a series or separately. Restorative yoga focuses on calming the body and mind through slow stretching and deep breathing. Kundalini yoga combines breathwork, meditation, and chanting to awaken the inner spirit. Finally, Bikram yoga is a hot yoga style that involves practicing in a heated room at a specific temperature.
