Restorative Yoga - This style of yoga is for those in need of some serious power relaxing, and not ashamed to admit it. For restorative yoga lovers, there is no guilt in shutting out the world with a lavender eye pillow and kicking back on a fluffy pile of blankets for an hour.
Power Yoga - Active styles of yoga, such as power yoga, vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga, attract the spirited sorts who are looking to improve athletically, and stretch their acrobatic skills. People who gravitate toward strength-oriented yoga classes often find spiritual inspiration through physical challenges.
Iyengar Yoga - Those who pay close attention to detail and do not take anything for granted are usually people who love Iyengar yoga. No one has ever accused an Iyengar yogi of turning a blind eye to the particulars that so many modern yoga practitioners overlook.
Bikram Hot Yoga - There is no question that anyone who voluntarily signs up for an hour and a half of yoga in extreme temperatures led by a militant instructor knows exactly what they want and are not afraid to go get it. Bikram yoga fans are routine oriented. Following the same set of 26 yoga poses in every single class, they don't do well with surprises or changes.
Kundalini Yoga - If you are an open minded individual, this is a style of yoga worth looking into. This yoga is all about opening the mind, heart and being very intuitive with your intellect.
