Yoga unwinds the mind and body through a combination of holistic teaching with flexibility and strength training. Different types of yoga will provide a different ratio of this combination. For instance, Yin and Hatha yoga are based around prolonged stretches which invite the mind to let go of tension using breathing techniques, whereas Vinyasa and Ashtanga variations are known for fluid movements and routines. Each practice is good for different moods, abilities, and purposes so the best method is to try them all.
