Hot Yoga or Bikram Yoga: This style enhances flexibility and promotes detoxification in a heated room.Gentle Yoga: A softer, more relaxed form of yoga, ideal for stress relief and relaxation.Yoga Nidra: Often referred to as “yogic sleep,” this guided meditation induces deep relaxation and mental clarity.Yin Yoga: A slow-paced style where poses are held for extended periods, targeting deep connective tissues, improving flexibility, and promoting inner stillness.Aerial Yoga: Combines traditional yoga with moves performed on a hammock-like apparatus, adding an element of playfulness and new challenges.Acro Yoga: A physical practice that combines yoga and acrobatics, emphasizing partner work for building strength and trust.Power Yoga: A fitness-based approach, this style is vigorous and athletic, focusing on strength and flexibility.Restorative Yoga: This gentle, healing form of yoga where poses are held for extended periods, often supported by props, to encourage deep relaxation and rejuvenation.Rocket Yoga: This practice is a more “accessible” Ashtanga Yoga. It allows for a fluid movement from one pose to another, encouraging evenness of breath and a dynamic style of body movement.Kemetic Yoga: A contemporary take on an ancient form of Egyptian Yoga, Smai Tawi. Drawing from deep roots in Egyptian spiritual practices, you can find the history of Kemetic Yoga in wall carvings and hieroglyphic texts within ancient temples.
