But if you’d like a brief description of the most common yoga styles so that you can get an idea of the diversity, here they are:

Weight Loss Yoga: Yin

Take in a slow breath.

Did you inherently close your eyes?

Maybe the exhales “feel better” to you than the inhales?

Life is often about evolution, adaptation, and becoming mindful of your body.

Whatever it may be, Yin is a lot like this.

Yoga is more than just placing your physical body on your mat.

It is spiritual.

It is cosmic.

It is intimate and profound.

Yin yoga incorporates most postures done completely down on the mat, longer “melting” times (e.g., in the posture for 2-6 minutes),

Weight Loss Yoga: Power/Bikrham

Power yoga is a popular favorite amongst those who want a more intense type yoga practice. Blending more strength-based movements, with traditional yoga asanas, (and sometimes done in heated rooms), power yoga can be a good choice for those who want to build muscle tone and have weight loss goals.

When you address your gut health, it can make a profound impact on your weight loss journey!

Weight Loss Yoga: Hatha

Hatha yoga focuses primarily on asanas, or the physical postures, to move vital energy throughout the body. If you are someone who tends to enjoy more of the physicality of yoga instead of needing or desiring pranayama-work (breath) or meditation, Hatha may be the branch of yoga for you!

Weight Loss Yoga: Ashtanga

If you like structure and like to follow a routine that remains the same, you will love Asthanga. If you’d like to know more about Ashtanga yoga check out this website by Yoga Basics!
