Ashtanga

Bikram/Hot Yoga
Bikram/Hot Yoga
You must be the type of person who wants to have a sweat going before you've even started working out! Traditional Bikram Yoga follows a strict sequence of 26 postures while Hot Yoga is a more general term applying to types of movement-based yoga, like Bikram, that takes place in a heated room. You'll sweat buckets, but it'll feel great!
Hatha
Hatha
You're probably totally new to yoga, which is exciting. Yogis love welcoming new students into the community. This class probably won't have you sweating buckets, but it will help you master some of the fundamental poses and certainly help increase your flexibility.
Iyengar
Iyengar
You must be very detail-oriented. Iyengar is all about mastering poses, paying close attention to your form and alignment. As opposed to flowing quickly through poses, you'll hold each pose longer, really striving for ultimate physical mastery. Plus, it involves cool props like yoga blocks, blankets, straps, etc. Finally, it's great for people with injuries as the instructors pay close attention to the students and are always willing to make modifications.
Vinyasa
Vinyasa
Vinyasa is all about that flow. It's a physically intense class that will have you moving from pose to pose, creating a challenging flow that is sure to leave you sweaty and stronger. Some instructors even choreograph their sequences to music. Plus, each class is totally different. If you're into Vinyasa, then you must be the type of person who thrives on constant changeups and being kept on your toes.
