Is one form of Yoga better than another?

[legendarytroy]

I've noticed that there are different types of Yoga. Does one provide more benefit than another? Is there one I should first if I'm a beginner?

I don't think so. There are different types. I think they all are designed to provide a similar benefit. Try out a couple to see which one you like best. What is most important is that you start slow and gradually build up to the different moves.

I think they're all pretty good. Most of them improve your flexibility, strength and balance so you should get those benefits regardless of what you choose. It's really all a matter of what intensity or experience you want, I guess. There are hundreds of yoga styles though. Maybe a good idea is to take a yoga quiz online to find the one that would best interest you. There's got to be lots of those.

It might help you find out which type of yoga is best for you. Even if it doesn't, it's a good jumping off point :)

That was a fun quiz!

That said, the only yoga I wouldn't recommend legendarytroy is hot yoga...seriously, I tired that once and didn't think I was going to make it hahah. Unless you like to be really hot and sweaty...just, no.

Yeah...I wouldn't do hot yoga either. That seems a little to extreme for me. Plus, I can't stand being overheated haha.
