Thanks to both of you for differentiating the types of yoga in the most simplest form I came across. I’m glad I clicked on this video of 6 minutes and saved myself from getting lost in an ocean of videos out here.
I also looked at Hata Yoga and Vinyasa videos and compared them to Ashtanga. Hata and Vinyasa have an extended stay in one asana. Ashtanga, on the other hand, moves in various poses with a relatively fast tempo. In particular, as I followed Ashtanga's posture sequence, I felt it was easy to get into the flow, but it was harder to focus on what was stopping.
I’ve done three ashtanga teacher trainings (not because I want to be a teacher - just want to learn more). At NONE of these teacher trainings have I seen anyone get injured. So I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone and I do think you seem somewhat biased towards ashtanga.
I understood that you made this opinion based guide to sell some TTC in Bali. You might want to look into the subjects more. Ashtanga is a six day a week practice and bikram is also a fixed sequence. Why did you skip Iyengar but left it in the title? I don't believe in bikram either but out of respect for the people who do enjoy it you could better articulate why it's not a good yoga practice. UV rays do not create heat, Infrared does however. Do they use infrared heaters for bikram? It's not as bad as UV, has different implications.
Yeah. This video has a lot of personal opinions and needs a LOT of fact checking. Please don't spread lies. Hatha yoga is recent, in classical terms: Not even 1000 years old. Ashtanga and yoga sutra are over 20centuries old. (So a book like yoga sutra, defining hasta-anga 8 limbs, how can you say hatha is the OG?) And patabi joy (ashtanga) and yengar (specific hatha) had Same guru. I hope u guys have better knowledge now, since the time this video was posted. Namaskar
Hmmm...various things wrong in the video. I believe hot yoga was invented because people were getting hurt in colder areas and Bikram realized that it was because of lack of heat whereas this problem doesn’t exist in India as much. Also, who exactly is the guru of Hatha yoga? Also, it seems both trite and inaccurate to say that Krishnamacharya was not really a master when I understand that he is the guru for ashtanga, iyengar and vinyasa so to discount ashtanga as made up by his student seems uneducated...
I played this video hoping to find objective and knowledgeable information about each style but found out instead this was about your subjective opinion.
I am continually reminded by some of the best yoga teachers I know that Ashtanga, and particularly hot yoga are not healthy to practice long term. Most of the people I know who go to these teachers trainings have difficult experiences because they are blindly pushed beyond their limits. This is so against the intention of yoga!
Ashtanga modern? lol. You seem to forget that rashi Patanjeli wrote about the eight limbs of YOGA ASHTANGA like 2000 years ago. This is so ignorant of you both. Ashtanga means literally eight-limb in sanskrit. ASHTANGA CAME FIRST, and Hatha derived from it!! two of the limbs were excluded to form a new approach to yoga practice. Hatha Yoga is simply Ashtanga (or Raja) Yoga without the limbs known as Yama and Niyama. Delete this video and stop misinforming people.

So nice of you two to clarify this for people.
Thank you for the detailed review of the different styles. I really appreciate your insight.
thank you so much for the insights, this is tremendously helpful.

Interesting insights and surely brought up some things that are worth considering.
What specifically did you like about them, mysterious person?
thank you!

The power of infinite knowledge!
What about iyengar?
Good to have some clarity about all the yoga styles x
