On this page “Yoga styles in comparison” yoga styles are described in which physical exercises are practiced, which is generally understood under the term “Hatha – Yoga”.
As all these different approaches were developed in different eras and socio-cultural contexts and still exist today in an enormous variety, it is interesting to get to know them better. They are practiced in very different physical approaches – with or without a spiritual intention and philosophical background – and with a wide variety of motives. It is not easy for practitioners, but also for yoga teachers, to find their way through this diversity.
For this reason, a clear selection of styles has been compiled here to give you a first impression. Furthermore, all those who are more deeply interested should be given a more detailed insight into the context of yoga. You can find this under Yoga styles background.
