The Sanskrit word "Yoga" is derived from the root "Yuj," which means "to join," "to yoke," or "to unify." According to yogic texts, practicing yoga causes one's awareness to become one with the Universal Consciousness, signifying complete harmony between the mind and body, as well as between man and nature.

Yoga affects a person's body, cognition, emotion, and energy levels. This has led to the development of four major categories of yoga: karma yoga, which involves using the body; bhakti yoga, which involves using the emotions; gyana yoga, which involves using the mind and intellect; and kriya yoga, which involves using the energy.

Yoga enhances flexibility, balance, and strength. While holding a position can help improve strength, slow, deep breathing and movement warm up muscles and enhance blood flow. Hold the other foot at a right angle to your calf or above the knee (never on the knee) as you balance on one foot.

Which Yoga is best??

One of the most physically demanding types of yoga is power yoga. Power yoga, which is based on the Ashtanga yoga position sequence, helps you become more flexible and balanced while also strengthening your upper body. You transition smoothly between poses.

"Power yoga" is a combination of a challenging strength-training routine and leisurely, introspective yoga. It's the style of yoga I prefer. I used to feel like my yoga classes were lacking for a very long time. Yes, I am aware of the benefits of taking things slowly and finding mental and physical peace in a restorative yoga practise. However, I've always felt that I needed more to be able to leave class feeling successful. I was overjoyed to learn about this hybrid style of yoga. Even while using weights in a yoga studio is definitely not for everyone, I find it to be a fantastic fit, and I have a feeling that many other people would feel the same way.
