Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa links breath with movement, creating flowing sequences that build heat and cardiovascular fitness. Each movement syncs with an inhale or exhale. It's dynamic, energizing, and challenging. Best for intermediate+ practitioners seeking strength and flow. Apps like 
Power Flow Unlimited excel at vinyasa instruction.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha holds poses longer (5–10 breaths), building strength and stability without continuous movement. Slower than vinyasa, it's ideal for beginners learning proper alignment. Teachers give detailed cues. Most beginner-friendly apps include substantial hatha offerings.
Yin Yoga
Yin holds passive poses 3–5 minutes, targeting deep connective tissue. It's meditative, calming, and perfect for recovery or stress relief. Requires patience and surrender. Apps now include dedicated yin sessions as interest grows.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini emphasizes breath (pranayama), chanting, and specific sequences to awaken energy. It's spiritual and philosophical, appealing to practitioners seeking deeper meaning. Excellent for meditation integration.
Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar emphasizes precise alignment using props (blocks, straps, blankets). It's therapeutic and excellent for injuries or tight bodies. Slower-paced, highly technical instruction. 
Downward Dog Daily features strong Iyengar-influenced instruction.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative uses props to fully support the body in gentle poses held 5–20 minutes. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing deep relaxation. Perfect for stress, anxiety, or sleep issues.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga follows a fixed sequence performed daily, building strength and discipline. It's structured and meditative, requiring consistency. Suited to practitioners seeking traditional, systematic practice.
Choosing Your Style
Begin with hatha or gentle vinyasa to build foundations. Once comfortable, explore other styles. Most practitioners benefit from mixing styles—power for strength, yin for recovery, restorative for stress. Your perfect practice likely blends multiple traditions.
