Yoga. Yoga styles: which one to choose

There are so many styles of yoga now that it is not surprising to get confused. But there are pluses in this: among such a variety, you will surely find something to your liking.

– Have you ever done yoga? Try Iyengar Yoga
If you find ropes, belts and other toys of the Marquis de Sade on the wall of the yoga room, know that you are in an Iyengar yoga class. The creator of this method B.K. S. Iyengar was a rather weak child (even before the age of 15 he managed to get sick with tuberculosis, typhoid and malaria). Who would have thought that this person would become a world famous yoga master and create a unique school! Active practice is not for everyone. He shifted the focus from the degree of power load, to the deep adjustment of poses. A variety of props are needed so that even a beginner does everything right and does not get injured. Are you sure that yoga is the boredom of death? Try aerial yoga. It’s nice to hang out in a hammock, read a book… or do yoga! This is no joke: during the Aero class, you will actually do asanas while hanging in the air, and mostly upside down. This is not only unusual, but also safe and super useful: the hammock is securely fixed a meter above the floor and supports the body well, besides, in the inverted position, the blood rushes more strongly to the head and stimulates brain activity. With Aero, you can develop flexibility, strength, stretch your muscles and spine. Soaring above the ground, it is convenient to do inverted asanas, as well as come up with new positions. You will never be bored! Do you want to recover from an injury? Try Yoga Therapy
It can be practiced by people suffering from asthma, diabetes, digestive problems, diseases of the spine, etc. It is almost exercise therapy, only better. Do you want to deal with trauma? You are in a yoga therapy class! After all, absolutely healthy people rarely come to yoga. Much more often, through practice, they want to improve their well-being. That is why a good instructor should know which asanas can be performed for people with various diseases, and which ones can harm them. For example, the Lotus position heavily loads the joints of the legs, which means it is contraindicated in varicose veins. If you come to a yoga therapy class, first you will be asked in detail about everything, and during the class itself they will pay maximum attention. ?Looking for the harmony of body and soul? Then do Hatha Yoga! First of all hatha Yoga takes its place in the purification of the mechanism of the body and its physical complex. It must be remembered that the mind and spirit, the body are not different entities, but a single whole.
Being on one level you consider it as an existing body. On the other as the mind. And they should not be considered separately the spirit from the body and the body from the spirit. This is one piece! To put it more simply, hatha yoga is an Indian, ancient science for harmonizing the body and mind. Hatha yoga includes:
Postures (asanas) that will help keep the body beautiful, strong and healthy.
Breathing exercises (pranayama) they will teach us to control emotions, to regulate breathing.
Concentration of attention. Helps to calm the mind and direct energy into constructive channels, helping in the development of human life systems.
Relaxation and relaxation (Meditation) will help you hear and know your Self! Do you dream of becoming happier and calmer? Then choose Yantra Yoga! Yantra Yoga is a dynamic style, in the Tibetan language the word “yantra” means movement. It functions on three levels, involving the body through asanas and transitions between them, speech through pranayama, and the mind, influencing it through contemplation and meditation. Only with the combined participation of these components can a person feel the true effect of yoga.
This direction focuses on the coordination of movement and breathing, since the latter is the source of speech. Breath is also the carrier of vital energy (prana), circulating through energy channels (nadis), which are involved in many practices during concentration, and provides mental work.
Yantra Yoga proclaims the need for a harmonious and inseparable functioning of the body, speech and mind for human health. This is what the student is trying to achieve in the process of practice – awareness of the unity of his essence.
