Yoga TidBits
This week's question: What are differences among different kinds of yoga?
As I mentioned last week, the original yoga concentrated on breathing only. After the development of Hatha yoga to incorporate movement to breathing, the following styles were developed under the umbrella of Hatha yoga:
Ashtanga is an intense flowing practice with additional focus on breathing and focusing eyes on one specific part of body.
Kundalini focuses on regular practice of meditation, breathing, chanting mantras and yoga poses to awaken the spiritual potential of humans.
Iyengar's emphasis is on detail, precision and alignment in poses and breath control. Due to the focus on correcting the poses, Iyengar is less of a flowing practice.
Bikram consists of 90 minutes of same series of 26 poses including two breathing exercises in a heated room of 95 to 108 F with a humidity of 40%.
Viniyoga is a one on one practice of yoga in which the teacher creates a personalized practice for the student based on the student's health, age and physical condition including past or current injuries and illnesses.
Vinyasa is a sequential movement that interlinks poses for a continuous flow which creates a movement meditation.

Food for Thought
"Yoga is possible for anybody who really wants it. Yoga is universal.... But don't approach yoga with a business mind looking for worldly gain. "
