Nowadays, these 13 types of original yoga are only available in Mount Batukaru, Tabanan, Bali. As there are many contemporary types of yoga at the moment, Balitrees Retreats is committed to host yoga in its original type.
The 13 original types of yoga consist of yoga Surya, yoga Chandra, yoga Siva, yoga Vishnu, yoga Brahma, yoga Ishvara, and more. Each type of yoga consists of different type of sequence. Surya yoga has 12 types of yoga sequences such as Surya Namaskara, Surya Daryam, Surya Kertalam, Nadwityam Suryam, Surya Arkayam, Surya Khagata, Surya Maricam, Surya Savitri, Surya Pusne, Surya Bhaskaram, Surya Hiranyagarbha, and Surya Gerhanam.
Yoga Chandra has 16 types of yoga sequences such as yoga Chandra Namaskara, yoga Chandra Kirana, yoga Chandra Lomawati, yoga Chandra Kumari, yoga Chandra Mimba, yoga Chandra Rekawati, yoga Chandra Huta Mahini, yoga Chandra Kumula, yoga Chandra Satya Wahini, yoga Chandra Yumati, yoga Chandra Kresna, yoga Chandra Rasa Sukisma, yoga Chandra Udaya, yoga Chandra Gomayika, yoga Chandra Asmara, and yoga Chandra Gerhanam.
