                     Which Yoga Training

is Right for Me?
When we talk about yoga, we don’t take into consideration the fact that instead of a single 
branch, multiple types of yoga help you establish the right balance and strength, helping you 
relax all the tension, reduce the noise in your mind, and relax.


In case you are a beginner looking to start with their yoga journey, there are a lot of 
options for you to choose from. Whichever style takes your fancy, you can boost your inner 
strength, improve your body’s flexibility, and ensure great body balance as well. 


Have a look at different types of yoga and their benefits below

Yoga Poses to Ease

 Back Pain
Have a look at some of the most recommended yoga for 
back pain poses to bring you relief:

1. Bikram Yoga

Bikram yoga is a little challenging in the sense that this 
one is done in a very hot room, that’s at about 100 degrees 
Fahrenheit. Therefore, you should consult your doctor once 
before going ahead with this ‘hot’ yoga style, as people 
with issues such as diabetes or hypertension will find it 
difficult to manage the heat.

There are 26 yoga poses in Bikram yoga.
2. Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga involves doing a series of nonstop yoga 
poses and incorporates a specific breathing technique that 
allows the mind to focus better while also modulating the 
flow of your breathing throughout your body. 

Ashtanga is also a challenging yoga in essence,

 if you are just starting.
3. Hatha Yoga

A much gentler yoga form than the two we mentioned 
above, Hatha yoga means the physical practice of yoga, and 
not just the focus on breathing techniques and exercises. 
Hatha yoga has now become a term when a few different 
yoga practices are combined to create a simple class for 
helping beginners get the hang of yoga.

4. Iyengar Yoga
Another form of gentle yoga, Iyengar yoga is a slow and 
detailed process, which is a good option for beginners. 
Iyengar yoga also involves the use of different props like 
blocks and belts to get you into yoga poses with the right 
body alignment.
5. Anusara Yoga
A modern-day version of Hatha yoga, this gentle yoga form 
begins with chanting and then concludes with a quiet 
session of meditation. Anusara comprises more than 250 
poses from Hatha yoga, but a lot of teachers have their 
distinct styles as well.
6. Kripalu Yoga
This yoga type begins with slow movements that don’t even 
cause the slightest, sweat and then moves ahead by 
taking you through three levels of a more consolidated 
mind and body awareness.
7. Power Yoga or Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa flow is one of the most physically challenging and 
athletic forms of yoga. The sequences are built on the 
foundation of poses you will find in Ashtanga yoga and help 
in building increased flexibility and balance. The transition 
between each pose is also executed in a flow, and thus the 
name.

If you are just starting yoga, it’s recommended to take a 
few classes that begin with a slower style to help you get 
the feel of those yoga poses. This stems from the reason 
that in power yoga, the amount of individual attention is 
less, as moving through the power yoga classes is a 
priority.
6. Kripalu Yoga
Jivamukti yoga brings together the physical aspects of 
Vinyasa yoga with the ethical as well as spiritual aspects of 
ancient yogic scriptures such as veganism and chanting.
How to Choose a

Yoga Type?
Each individual has a different level of fitness, which is why you should 
choose a yoga style according to that. Before finalising one, try out 
different yoga types and different teachers. To close a particular yoga style, 
here are a few things you should consider:
Are you fit without any injury, medical condition, or some other issue 
that could stop you from doing your best?
If this is the case, then you should begin with a slower yoga class that 
focuses more on alignment, such as Iyengar yoga or Kripalu yoga.
What is your goal from yoga?
If the meditative or spiritual aspects of yoga are your point of focus, then 
you should try out the yoga styles that have meditation and chanting as 
their goal values.
 Are you looking for fitness from yoga or looking to delve deeper 
into the mind-body connection aspect?
If fitness is what you are looking for from yoga, then it’s best to go 
with a more rigorous style of yoga form, like Vinyasa or Ashtanga. 
Both forms combine athletic yoga poses into a rigorous, full-body 
yoga workout
10. What are the Other Benefits of Yoga?
Other than the whole mind-body connection and flexibility, there are 
a few other benefits of indulging in regular yoga.
They are the following
Weight reductio
Circulatory and cardio healt
Better athletic performanc
Balanced metabolis
Protection from any injur
Relieves chronic stress pattern
Improves concentration
Yoga FAQs
 How to know if I am doing yoga correctly?
If you’re doing yoga without the supervision of a yoga instructor, you might 
think that you’re doing it wrong. Because different people have different 
structures and bone health, there’s no one way to perform the yoga poses. 
It’s about understanding what works well. 

How much yoga should I do in a week?
If you practise yoga even once in a whole week, you will begin witnessing 
the difference. However, you can also do yoga three to four times in a 
week. However, you mustn’t set unrealistic expectations for yourself. 

Can I do yoga if I am expecting?
If you are expecting, it’s advisable to check with your healthcare 
professional once before starting with yoga.
If you have never done yoga before, you shouldn’t begin with it during 
the first 3 months of your pregnancy, to let your body adapt to it. Even if 
you are a regular practitioner, you should avoid poses that involve a lot 
of turning and twisting.
