Most important types of yoga at a glance

Luna, Asthanga & Power Yoga

Luna Yoga

Luna Yoga is an ancient, revived healing body art that improves body awareness. It has a particular effect on the pelvic region and contributes to keeping the sexual organs healthy. Regular exercise can also alleviate gynecological problems and rectify disorders in the functioning of the genital organs. With the Luna Yoga exercises, fertility is promoted in every way. It also has a balancing effect on hormonal mood swings, which significantly increases well-being and joie de vivre. In addition, the exercises relieve tension, so the spine and joints remain much more flexible. Luna Yoga is particularly suitable for women who want to have children and women going through the menopause, as the exercises are specially tailored to the female body. No prior knowledge is required for this.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is dynamic, powerful, elegant and calms the mind. There are some difficult exercises that are carried out in quick succession. A distinction is made between difficulty levels in which the exercises become more difficult from level to level. The individual exercises are in accordance with the breathing rhythm and linked to each other by a fixed sequence, mostly by jumps, ie there are few breaks between the respective exercises. In this type of yoga, the spiritual and the meditation play no role. Astanga Yoga trains endurance, breathing techniques and the cardiovascular system, stretches the musculoskeletal system and builds muscles.

Power Yoga

Power Yoga is a very intensive and dynamic form of yoga that originated from the classic Asthanga and is a balanced mix of strength training and intensive stretching exercises. A special feature here is the continuous movement. The flowing movements are performed synchronously with the deep breathing exercises. Through the dynamic exercises, progressive poses and breathing support, the student gains resistance, mobility, endurance andTolfioowity. The intensive physical training also promotes our awareness, as well as our concentration, strength and flexibility. Over time, the student finds a balance between calm, dynamism, energy and relaxation. Power Yoga strengthens the cardiovascular system and the entire musculature. A positive side effect is that the figure is clearly tightened as a result. Female problem areas such as stomach, legs and buttocks are gently shaped.

Iyengar, Hatha, Kriya & Birkam Yoga

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is a vibrant, active and challenging style of yoga that promotes strength, flexibility and stability, balance and concentration. In Iyengar Yoga, relaxation is not achieved through breaks, but through alternating, coordinated exercise sequences while standing, sitting and lying down. Iyengar Yoga is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, because the exercises can be performed in different ways. In some cases, aids in the form of blocks, belts or chairs can also be used to support the student in carrying out his exercises. Flexibility, endurance and strength are built up. At the same time, the understanding and sensitivity for one’s own body grows. A healthy upright spine is the focus here,

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is the classic form of yoga. Gentle physical exercises, breathing exercises and meditation create a balance between body and mind. Hatha Yoga is used in many countries as disease prevention or body-oriented psychotherapy. The physical exercises have a balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system, which calms the mind. The goal is to strengthen muscles, tendons and ligaments and at the same time strengthen the internal organs through good blood circulation. It is also the goal to eliminate or avoid mental disorders and stress.

Kriya Yoga

Kirja Yoga is an ancient method of self-realization and free of rules. In this type of yoga, the breathing technique is in the foreground, which, however, is supplemented by light physical exercises and meditation techniques. Regular practice enables proper breathing, bringing mind and thoughts under control. Controlling all physical and mental states leads to self-realization and brings calm and peace to the mind.

Birkam Yoga

Birkam Yoga is practiced in a 35-40 degree hot room. This hot room is intended to make safe muscle and tendon work possible, as the muscles become more supple and can be stretched better through the heat. In addition, the heat should boost the purification process and detoxify the body through sweating. The heat also stimulates the metabolism and the body is automatically kept in good shape. The spiritual aspect is rather unimportant in this type of yoga. It is more presentive and is used for stress management, regeneration and balance. The causes and symptoms of chronic diseases can also be reduced. People with cardiovascular problems should avoid this type of yoga .

Anasura, Jivamutki & Tri Yoga

Anasura Yoga

Anasura Yoga is the modern form of Hatha Yoga, alignment principles were developed based on the knowledge of biogenetics and biomechanics. Biogenetics and biomechanics work together like a building block principle. The student is guided further and further to his ideal posture and the flow of energy in the body is improved. This leads to an increased, general well-being and moreTolfioowity, both mentally and physically. In addition, the precise alignment prevents injuries. Poor posture can also be positively influenced or healed. Each student is supported to better understand their own body and to recognize their own limits. Another important element of Anasura Yoga is the language and the “opening of the heart”. Each Anasura lesson becomes a unique experience for individual development. The students are not taught here but supported and encouraged in their uniqueness.

Jivamutki Yoga

Jivamutki is a very challenging style of yoga where it is important to be reasonably fit and flexible. It is perfect for people who like classical yoga and are interested in the spiritual background. The main feature of this type of yoga are the flowing movement sequences, some of which merge into one another like a dance and thus train all muscle groups in the body. The spiritual part consists of chanting mantras and sutras, meditation and the lesson on happiness.

Tri Yoga

Tri Yoga is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced students. A Tri Yoga class consists of individual steps, which in turn consist of 5 series of flowing and rhythmic movements, which continuously increase flexibility and endurance. Each student decides for themselves when they need a break. Typical of Tri Yoga are the unique wave movements with the spine. During the physical exercises, you slide smoothly into the next one without a break and only move the parts of your body that are really necessary to assume the new position. This saves energy and has a gentle effect on the body and spine. In addition, you are synchronously accompanied by inhaling and exhaling during the exercises. The constant alternation between active and calm exercises clearly promotes composure.
