How can you distinguish between types of Yoga of others? The difference can be very subtle, and you are not sure what kind of Yoga you want to do? Because it is a question that many ask us, today we present some of the forms that exist in Spain so that you can find the one that suits you best.
Hatha Yoga
El Hatha Yoga It is the yoga of postures, it is the yoga method that works the physical body to facilitate meditation and the balance of opposites. Traditional hatha incorporates postures to increase flexibility and strength, breathing exercises (pranayama), cleanses, energy locks (bandhas), and hand postures (mudras) to direct and enhance vital energy (prana) in the body. Today the term is used to simply refer to a slow and deep posture practice. It is a very good introduction to yoga, as it is the basis of the other styles of physical yoga.
Iyengar Yoga
This type of yoga was created by the guru BKS Iyengar. One of the characteristics of Iyengar yoga is that it consists of a practice focused on the alignment of the body in each posture. It uses about 200 traditional asanas and 14 pranayama exercises, grouped in certain sequences, depending on the level of each student.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is a school of yogic discipline whose central technique is to awaken the kundalini: the pranic energy found at the base of the spine. It is a style of spiritual and devotional yoga, which often involves chants and mantras.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa is the Sanskrit name given to the link between breath and movement. Although this link is an inherent part of the asana practices in yoga, the vinyasa has the peculiarity of synchronizing each movement with an exhalation, retention or exhalation. It is a dynamic and fluid practice.
Ashtanga Yoga

For this reason, yoga from a classical perspective is always ashtanga because all its practices are part of a larger system.
