Yoga

Yoga began in India as a spiritual practice. Today it spans many styles, from slow, restful yin to fast, flowing vinyasa. Each one moves the body differently and calls for a different kind of attention.

These guides explain each style in plain terms. They cover where it comes from, what a class feels like and who it suits best.
