Beginners. Ashtanga yoga consists of six series of specific poses taught in order.

Gentle Flow. Iyengar yoga is known for the high level of training required of its teachers and for its resourceful use of props.

Power Flow. Like vinyasa yoga, power yoga traces its roots to ashtanga but is less regimented and is more open to interpretation by individual teachers. “Power yoga is generally more active and is done at a quicker pace than other styles of yoga,” says Chun.

Vinyasa. Vinyasa yoga is also called “flow yoga” or “vinyasa flow”. It is an incredibly common style.
