Dr. Weil tells us about the main types of yoga and their benefits. Click to watch the accompanying video to see a demo of each of the yoga styles.

ASHTANGA

Often called “Power Yoga” because it links together a series of movements, that “flow” into each other . Usually there are no pauses so Ashtanga acts as a good aerobic workout while also strengthening and toning the body.

ANUSARA

Anusara integrates a spiritual outlook, an “inner pose” for each of the physical poses. One of the fastest growing forms if Yoga, it unites an understanding of structural alignment in the body with a focus on feelings of happiness and contentment.

KUNG FU

Ok there isn't really a Kung Fu yoga, but we found this vintage video of an Indian Yoga master fighting of two Chinese Martial artists and we had to share it with you. This technique is known as Kick-ass yoga.
