What is the difference between all the various types of yoga?
All physical yoga is based on Hatha Yoga (Hatha means forceful)—every school the exists is based on Hatha Yoga. The different schools of yoga that have developed simply take the basics of Hatha Yoga and modify the asanas to suit whatever they wish to work towards. For example, the more strenuous practices – working with strength and endurance tends to use the more dynamic poses such as Warrior and Triangle pose. In contrast, a more meditative practice might work with more floor work – focusing on being gentle and nurturing. This is the beauty of yoga, it can be integrated in your life for the purpose you wish to achieve.
