1. Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga is the most ancient and traditional form of yoga. It is one of the best yoga practices for those who are very much connected to the body. The word Hatha means ‘forceful’ in Sanskrit. This type of yoga means tenacity to reshape the body, in a way; to re-engineer the whole system. It focuses on physical practice and how this can help you achieve inner balance. As per Hindu belief deity, Shiva is the founder of Hatha yoga.
The more esoteric meaning of sun (Ha) and moon (Tha) was a later addition when elements of subtle body psychology gained prominence. According to this view, Hatha is the union of two opposites. One yoga practice is to unite mind and body, flexibility and strength, movement of bodies, and stillness of mind. Practice more and more asanas in Hatha yoga purifying your body and opening all the Nadis to flow the energy throughout the body to awaken your vital energy.
2. Vinyasa yoga
Vinyasa yoga is one of the most popular yoga styles. The word “Vinyasa” can be translated as “arranging something specially,” as yoga poses for example. In Vinyasa yoga classes, students coordinate movement with breath to flow from one pose to the next.
