Garfield Nov 2019 12:54pm, 4 Nov 2019 11,216 posts	0 Garfield Good afternoon all...and here is your roundup. The topic is very familiar to me, having recently qualified as a yoga teacher (earlier this year). Ashtanga yoga – originally started up by Pattabhi Jois around 1948 as a way to train young high caste boys in Mysore, India. The Primary Series consists of a warmup of 5 x Sun Salutation A, followed by 5 x Sun Salutation B, then a memorized series of standing and seated poses, the standing sequences having a vinyasa between each standing pose. In India it is a mentored yoga where the practitioner masters one pose before going on to the next one – as they all build upon each other. They generally avoid using any props (blocks, straps) to make things more approachable for practitioners.

Despite this, it remained popular in the rural areas. As a consequence, they pulled a lot of the spiritual context away from this type of yoga and made it more like physical exercises. Following on from this, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya influenced a lot of yoga seen in the West as physical exercises, taking yoga poses and combining them with other gymnastic exercises to develop a flowering style of physical yoga that places little or no emphasis on Hatha yoga’s spiritual goals. phidip 1467.94 122.02 17.50% larkim 1440.3 9.03 15.29% JP. 1422.44 226.72 13.86% Cerrertonia 1400.22 86.96 12.08% mole-thing 1388.04 174.56 11.10% StuH 1366.3 111.14 9.36% HappyG(rrr) 1332.81 150.02 6.68% IanS 1321.5 103.04 5.78% Oranj 1296.55 13.99 3.78% Hills of Death (HOD) 1227.71 124.69 -1.73% Yin Yoga – this type of yoga is more Chinese in nature than Indian and comes from the principles of Yin (soft/cool) and Yang (strong/hot/warming). It takes common yoga poses and practitioners hold these poses for several minutes at a time to work into the fascial tissues of the body, sometimes using bolsters to support the body when needed and playing with the edge between comfortable and being challenged. Most of the Yin poses are seated and a class may only consist of 8 different poses, held for extended periods of time. Emphasis is on the energy meridians in the poses, and doing the poses in an almost meditative state, just breathing and being aware of the sensations of discomfort and knowing when to ease off or go deeper into a pose (it’s a very fine line!). We don't recommend that beginners take up Yin yoga...as they find the long spaces holding poses 'boring'! It's best left until one has been practicing yoga for over a year before embarking on Yin exploration. westmoors 1178.52 101.67 -5.67% Richard-M 1176.34 147.34 -5.84% jennyh 1176 134.08 -5.87% Jigs 1146.72 134.27 -8.21% rjb 1080.79 144.3 -13.49% Restorative yoga – This is a very relaxing type of yoga - very good for people who are extremely stressed out – involving the use of lots of props (blocks, bolsters, straps, pillow, blanket) and can often finish with Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) for 30 minutes in a 90 minute class. Movements are very slow and one never gets into a standing position in this yoga. Frequently it is mostly done with the eyes closed, and involves opening of the chest, hips, trying to find space in the spine. Poses aren’t held quite as long as in Yin Yoga but they are held longer than in ‘normal’ types of yoga.

HappyG(rrr) Nov 2019 1:05pm, 4 Nov 2019 33,031 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Ooh, thanks Garfield. I'm Hatha, which is the type I have most enjoyed in the past. My teacher made it very relaxing and quite meditative, which was lovely. I found Ashtanga too "fast" for me. Pilates gives me the strength stuff I want for core, but I miss my Hatha! G
