The 7 types of yoga:
Ashtanga yoga is a vigorous style that follows a specific, repetitive sequence of poses linked by breath.
Hatha yoga is a foundational style that combines physical postures (asana), breath control (pranayama), and meditation.
Hot yoga (including Bikram) involves practicing in a heated, humid room, which increases sweating and is thought to aid fat loss.
Iyengar yoga focuses on precise alignment and uses props like blocks and belts to help practitioners achieve correct form.
Kundalini yoga is a spiritual practice that aims to awaken inner energy (kundalini) through chanting, breathing exercises, and specific movements.
Restorative yoga uses props and gentle poses to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and support physical and mental recovery.
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic style where poses flow smoothly from one to the next, often described as a "flow" or "flow yoga".
Yin yoga does not fit into the seven traditional "types" of yoga, but is rather a distinct, slower-paced style focused on passive, long-held poses that target connective tissues. It is however, sometimes listed alongside Restorative yoga
