Yoga comes in many styles — from slow and meditative to energising and athletic. No matter your ability, there's a version that can support your body and mind.

Popular types of yoga:

• Hatha: Gentle and beginner-friendly with basic poses

• Vinyasa: Flowing sequences that link movement to breath

• Ashtanga: Physically demanding series in a set order

• Iyengar: Focuses on alignment, often using blocks or straps

• Yin: Slow-paced, long holds for deep relaxation

• Power: Fast-paced and strength-building

• Bikram: Practised in a heated room with a set series of poses

For stress relief, choose slower styles like Yin, Hatha or Restorative yoga. The best style is the one that makes you want to return to your mat.
