]]> Yoga is a popular form of fitness for its capacity to increase flexibility and strength, with different styles of yoga being more or less appropriate depending on one’s specific goals. Yin and restorative yoga, for example, are some of the best options if you’re looking to cultivate a sense of grounding and calm, but what exactly is the difference between the two? Read on for a few key points and some tips for how to choose which style is right for you.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga targets the body’s deep connective tissues and is ideal for increasing overall flexibility and range of motion in the joints. While it can certainly promote relaxation as well, this style of yoga is not necessarily easy. Poses are typically held for about 3-5 minutes and can become quite uncomfortable after a while. Practitioners are encouraged to find a sense of stillness and breathe through the discomfort, making yin yoga an exercise in mindfulness, as well.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga, on the other hand, offers a gentler, more nurturing experience with a focus on comfort and deep rest. Props such as bolsters and blankets are used to support the body in various poses, and yoga teachers will often play calm, slow music and dim the lights to create a relaxing atmosphere.

Choosing the Right One for You

As with any form of fitness, it’s essential to consider your goals when choosing between yin and restorative yoga. Both can be effective for releasing physical and emotional tension, but if you’re open to a challenge and want to work on flexibility, yin yoga may be more appropriate. For deep relaxation and self-care, stick with restorative yoga.

]]> While most people know of yoga as a form of exercise involving deep breathing and practicing various poses, there are actually many different styles of yoga that each bring with them their own benefits. Whether you’re feeling something slow and mellow or fast and fierce, there’s surely a yoga style for you.

Yin Yoga

This style of yoga involves holding poses for much longer than other styles of yoga, up to about 5 minutes or even longer if it feels right for you. Slow, focused breathing is encouraged as you hold each pose. The objective of yin yoga is to deeply stretch connective tissue in order to boost circulation and increase flexibility. Poses most often practiced involve the hips and sacrum such as pigeon and butterfly pose. 

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa yoga involves much more movement than yin yoga. Every pose should align with an inhale or exhale so that both breath and movement are a continuous flow. While poses can be held for a few breaths each, in general, it is recommended to keep things fluid so as to move energy throughout the body.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga is the style of yoga most practiced in India, where yoga has its origins. This is a set series of 41 poses that are practiced in sequence and if you attend a class in this style, you’ll be expected to know the poses. It’s one of the most physically challenging styles and ideal for the more advanced yogi.

Happy hump day everyone! Day 1: #autumnyogivibes and we kick start with seated hear opener. I’m going with my favorite seated lotus with a gentle shoulder + heart opener. Today we talk a little about gratefulness. I first learnt about attitude for gratitude when I started self hypnosis and sleep meditations to treat insomnia( which is still on coz it’s 12 am to be exact🙄). But to be honest, I’m so happy to be awake at this hour rather than the anxiety I used to feel forcing myself to sleep. I’m really grateful for all these unlimited, professional and free resources available on YouTube that really help ease a lot is stress and aid relaxation. I know that this free content costs a lot here but I would definitely recommend my personal favorite Dauchsy meditation on YouTube and his gratitude sleep hypnosis sessions. 21 days to a grateful heart I say to everyone I send this meditation and I’ve heard some amazing reviews .

What is Hatha Yoga?

This is a yoga type that uses meditation, breathing techniques, and static yoga poses. It’s recommended for beginners, but it also requires a lot of physical involvement. The poses can often be challenging, but with the right guidance, you’ll be able to advance.

What are the Benefits?

  1. Stress Relief: Just like any other yoga branch, this one is also helpful in relieving stress. This is something that is proven with multiple studies and it can become a great way for you to deal with stress and anxiety.
  2. Improved Sleep: Everyday life can easily affect the quality of sleep that you get. With hatha yoga, you’ll be much more relaxed, calm and you’ll have a great night’s sleep.
  3. Core Strenght: This yoga uses static poses that activate the core. You’ll become stronger and notice it shortly after the first few months.
