Understanding Yoga and the Many Different Types

Yoga

If you’re interested in yoga in Vacaville, it’s important that you obtain training and instruction through a reputable and highly experienced instructor. This person will be able to provide you with lots of tips and tricks for mastering several types of yoga.

Even better, a good instructor can help you choose which type of yoga is best for you. Here’s a quick look at four types of yoga.

Kundalini Yoga

This form of yoga focuses heavily on spirituality and philosophy. If you’re looking for a class that provides a large amount of time devoted to meditation and breathing techniques, then this is the type you will want to practice. There is also a lot of chanting in Kundalini yoga, so you’ll want to keep that in mind, as well.

Power Yoga

If you’re athletic, then this form of yoga will pique your interests. A person will need to be athletic and flexible to enjoy power yoga, with a large portion of class sessions being devoted to improving upper-body strength. Each pose is performed in a flowing motion from one pose to the next.

Aerial Yoga

Aerial yoga focuses on gravity — and defying it. You will use a fabric hammock during your aerial classes, but there’s no need to buy one for yourself unless you want to practice the moves at home. Instead, your instructor will provide one for you at the facility in which the classes are offered.

If you have a tendency to get dizzy easy, you will definitely want to speak with your instructor before your first class. You may find that a different form of yoga best suits your needs and preferences.

Bikram Yoga

For those with a desire to try an extremely challenging form of yoga, Bikram yoga will be best. There are 26 poses performed in this form of yoga, and while the positions may not be difficult on their own, it’s imperative to note that they are carried out in a room that exceeds 100 degrees.

If you have any type of medical condition, especially any type of diabetes or hypertension, you should be cleared by your doctor before taking advantage of Bikram yoga.

Yoga and Pilates are very similar to one another. Although we offer both forms of exercise, you can speak with one of our highly-trained teachers to decide which type is best. You may find that combining both forms of exercise into your routine will be of the best benefit.

By taking into account any medical conditions you have, as well as your expectations and exercise needs, it becomes simple to determine which of our services will benefit you the most.
