Yoga Teacher Training Schools | Wellness Community Bulletin
| | Yoga has struck populations worldwide as a chief means for achieving optimal wellness. And the many different types of yoga out there can serve as unique courses of healing for an individual's particular needs, from back pain to poor sleep habits to stress. As About.com describes, Hatha classes typically provide a good introduction to yoga, emphasizing slow-paced and gentle poses. |
If you are looking for a more vigorous yoga experience, a class in Vinyasa, Ashtanga or Power Yoga might interest you more.
- Vinyasa—focuses on Sun Salutations or a series of poses where movement accompanies breath.
- Ashtanga—involves fast-paced, constant movement through a set series of poses.
- Power Yoga—provides an intense yoga experience based on the style of Ashtanga but does not necessarily follow poses in the same order.
If you are not afraid of a little heat, Bikram yoga delivers an intense yoga experience conducted in a 95 to 100 degree room. As CBS news reports, the practice has gained widespread popularity within the United States where Americans can find a Bikram yoga studio in almost every major city.
Whatever form of yoga interests you, consider building on your skills and knowledge of this ancient healing art through yoga teacher training. The right education can help you build a successful career doing exactly what you want to do and making a difference to the health of others each and every day.
