ASHTANGA YOGA - Ashtanga Yoga is a yoga style that has been brought to great prominence through the
teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. From around 1948 Pattabhi Jois's teachings have disseminated this yoga
system to many students and teachers.
Ashtanga Yoga literally means 'eight limbed' yoga and adheres to Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga as set out in his
Yoga Sutras. These eight limbs are such a common basis to a yoga practice it is worth listing them:
Yama (moral codes)
Niyama (self-purification and study)
Asana (posture)
Pranayama (breath control)
Pratyahara (sense control)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (meditation)
Samadhi (contemplation and bliss state)
It is through the combination and co-ordination of breathing and movement (Vinyasa) that the internal
cleansing takes place. The other important incorporation in Ashtanga is Tristhana, which refers to the union of
three points of attention - posture, breathing and the gazing point. The gazing point being the deep focus on the
work.
BIKRAM YOGA - This is one of the very vigorous yoga styles, created by Bikram Choudhoury, who brought
his interpretation of the classical yoga posture routines to the West Coast of America.
The idea behind it is, according to Bikram, to emulate the heat of the sub-continent by heating, often carpeted,
mirrored rooms to a temperature somewhere between 90 - 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Armed with a large towel, a
yoga mat and a mega mineral water bottle, the student sweats through the prescribed 26 classical Hatha yoga
postures that Bikram has sequenced.
The emphasis is very much on the physical workout and in most Bikram classes there is little or no discussion
as to the spiritual side of the practice.
KUNDALINI YOGA - For many centuries Kundalini Yoga was a well kept secret known only to initiates and
masters within the spiritual confines of one to one teaching and closed orders in India and Tibet. The power of
raising the Kundalini energy that resides within was considered too powerful, and if misused, too dangerous to
be given free access.
Kundalini yoga is one of the yoga styles that allow a non-stressful way of working to help promote flexibility,
energy, serenity and a sense of greater personal empowerment.
Through the use of chanting and Pranayama exercises along with yoga postures, the channeling and release of
the inherent Kundalini energy can be achieved. This allows the practitioner to move into a state of altered
consciousness, connecting to a mystical and profound level of spiritual awareness.
POWER YOGA - This powerfully invigorating yoga style was born out of the American interpretation of
Ashtanga Yoga. It is a definitively sweat producing, muscle - building powerful workout. It is not for gentle
yoga types and certainly those coming to it from a beginner's point would be well advised to be cautious about
throwing themselves into it without excellent instruction.
Unlike other yoga styles there is little or no pausing between yoga positions (postures) and thus it is an intense
aerobic workout routine. Many sports enthusiasts take to Power Yoga as its ability to balance opposing muscle
groups allows the alleviation of many sports pains and injuries.
SIVANANDA YOGA - This yoga style originates from the teachings of an Indian yoga master Swami
Sivananda, who having trained as a western doctor dedicated his life to promoting the benefits of yoga. His
disciple - Swami Vishnu-Devananda designed what now has become the Sivananda Hatha Yoga class and is
aimed specifically to be suitable for the western body and mind.
Sivananda yoga promotes a five pointed plan to health and happiness - that of proper exercise, breathing,
relaxation diet positive thinking and meditation.
The postures are based on the classical Hatha Yoga presentation and there is also a strong emphasis on mantra
chanting. The devotional form of yoga (bhakti) is practiced in this form.
