Vigorous Yoga practice
Anusara: Playful, heart-opening but challenging postures follow precise
data-alignment protocol. Ashtanga: Connects the movement to the breath and is

strength. Power yoga is the American rendition of ashtanga.
Bikram: Similar to ashtanga but with a precise sequence of movements performed in a heated room, which helps with detox and reducing injury risk. Vinyasa: This yoga flow is physically demanding but accessible as you move through a series of postures that connect movement to breath.
