First of all, it is Sanskrit and not sandscrit.
"Asta " means eight; "anga" means body parts.

What is the best form of yoga for stress relief & and meditation?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:20:10 +0000

there's so many types of yoga,
it's hard to know exactly what
each form focuses on.

ei: vinyasa flow, asana, hatha blend,
iyengar, ashtanga…. etc.

im looking for something not to fast paced.
thanks. :]

They are all good depending on how your body is feeling at the time, but for what you are asking I believe the best is "Restorative" yoga. If you can find a yoga studio that offers it, you will feel so relaxed afterwards.

what are the differences between iyengar and ashtanga yoga?

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:20:06 +0000

Iyengar yoga is many times seen as the textbook to yoga. It is foundamental, focus on alignment, slower in pace, one-by-one, and utilize props to make proper adjustment.

Ashtanga yoga is often referred to as power yoga or flow yoga. It is faster in pace, constructed in a specific series of movements, connected poses, and deep when combining with strong, deep ujayu beathing.

For yoga beginners basic Iyengar or Hatha yoga style is recommended because it is critical to understand the fooundamental physics and elements in yoga. Ashtanga is physically challenged and better start it with some faimiliarity of yoga basics!
