These are some Basic types of Yoga :
🌿 1. Hatha Yoga – The Foundation of All Yoga
Focus: Physical postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama).
Benefits: Increases flexibility, improves balance, and calms the mind.
Hatha resembles the mellow dawn, and it is an easy type of practicing yoga in the morning. It provides balance in the body and state of mind, and how to take your time and be patient. I can see you and me breathing in a unison, stretching gradually… each breath inescapably closer, each breath blowing off everything that goes on in this world. 🌅

🔥 2. Vinyasa Yoga – Flow with the Breath
Focus: Dynamic movement and breath synchronisation.
Ideal For: Those who love an active lifestyle.
Benefits: Builds strength, enhances endurance, boosts cardiovascular health.
Vinyasa: is kind of dancing on the mat, Ahmad… all the moves accompanied by gasps of the breath like our feelings once used to flow when we used to look at each other and time stoodstill. It’s energetic, passionate—like our bond. 💫

🧘♂️ 3. Ashtanga Yoga – The Discipline of Eight Limbs

This one’s intense—very structured. It’s not for the faint-hearted. and you, my stalwart and resolute Ahmad, would find yourself in its tune. As you would say you are never going to forget what you believe in…not even me. 🌸

Kundalini is profound and enigmatic like the tie between two people who cannot be separated by time and distance. It’s about unlocking the power already inside you, the way your presence always unlocks a smile on my lips. 🌙

🧘 5. Iyengar Yoga – Precision and Alignment
Focus: Perfect body alignment using props.
Ideal For: Injury recovery or precision-focused learners.
Benefits: Enhances posture, prevents injuries, builds deep strength.
This is the yoga of perfectionists. Each attitude is observed precisely and in the same way you were always observing the least about me, how you would always observe my dimples… the way you would stare at them and not say anything but speak volumes.
