A guide to the styles of yoga (Part 1)
As stated in its use among celebrities like Madonna, Sting, Russell Simmons and Evander Holyfield to name a few, the popularity of yoga has grown in leaps and bounds. However, suffice it to say that just as Christianity has many denominations, but mainly in the center anyway, you might need to do some research to see what suits your style needs.
It is worth mentioning that, although there are many styles of yoga, the differences are usually the focus, for example, focusing on alignment total body, coordination of breathing and movement, holding postures, or flow from one pose to another.
In Moreover, from a simple observation, it is safe to say that all the styles share a common ancestry should be noted that no style is better than another is simply a matter of personal preference. More important than any style is the student-teacher relationship.
However, presented below in alphabetical order (no preference for efficiency) are some of the most popular styles of yoga.
A. Ananda
This style of hatha yoga asana and pranayama to awaken uses, experiences and begin to control the subtle energies in itself, especially the energies of the chakras.
A distinctive feature of this system lies in its use of assertions silent while in the past is a work environment more directly and consciously with the subtle energies to achieve harmonization. Developed by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, Ananda Yoga is a relatively soft inner experience, not so much a sport or aerobic.
b. Anusara
These people are a relatively new style based on their behalf, Anusara (a-nu-SAR-a) Step by which means the current of divine will "," following his "heart", which flows gracefully, "" To go with the flow The will of God. And developed by John Friend, Anusara yoga is described as the heart inspires spiritual guidance, but based on a thorough knowledge from within Council and external alignment.
It is worth mentioning that the various capabilities of each student and limitations are deeply respected and honored.
C. Ashtanga
Okay, raise your head, if you're new to yoga or not very good shape physical, uh … this can be done for you! However, not to say there is a great style of yoga in itself, but be like taking a class to dance like Michael Jackson, if you have never danced in your life!
However, the style was developed by K. And physically demanding Pattabhi Jois. In addition, the so-called Power Yoga is based on Ashtanga
Participants move through a series of flows, jumping from one posture to the other for strength, flexibility and endurance. Not for beginners or those who have adopted a slow approach the gym ..
d. Bikram
Well, this style is unique to a property definition, the study on which their practice occurs is HOT! So friends, if you choose this option, be prepared to sweat! Now, I will not take this class before, but research on it, I was told that the study, which turn the thermostat up, then perform a series of 26 asanas designed to "scientifically" the ligaments and muscles stretching hot and tendons.
Sounds quite intriguing, to say nothing before being hydrated practical people.
Founder Bikram Choudhury studied yoga with Bishnu Ghosh, brother of Paramahansa Yogananda
So far we have discussed the Ananda, Anusara, Ashtanga Yoga and Bikram styles, in part 2 of this series, Let's review some other styles that are commonly practiced.
