Patanjali is now also referred to as Ashtanga Yoga, named after the opriginator of this type of yoga, Patanjali Yoa Sutra. When you try out this type of yoga, you will see yourself moving fluidly from one posture to another, using a breathing technique to help you through the physical movements. Ashtanga refers to “eight limb path” which incorporates eight paths to a higher level of realization. These paths are Yama or the right moral code, Niyama which is personal discipline, Asana or yoga positions, Pranayama or breathing, Prayahara or sense withdrawal, Dharana which is the ability to focus on one object, Dhyan or meditation, and Samadhi or salvation.
Bhakti Yoga is a type of yoga that tries to make one evolve towards the divine by serving God. Instead of doing yoga positions, practitioners of Bhakti yoga use acts of service as of form of love and devotion, and the right path to live life by.
There are nine forms of Bhakti yoga. They are, without using the terms, hearing about God, singing about God, service, worship, remembering God’s name and presence, prostration, cultivating the Bhava of a servant, or friend of Bhava, and surrendering yourself.
Hatha Yoga is another type of yoga that is similar to the Ashtanga yoga in that it also uses physical postures. This is mostly for beginners and is the type of yoga most seem in the US. The main objective of this type of yoga is to use the body to prepare the mind for its spiritual journey. Hatha Yoga practitioners believe that if the body is in good condition physically, then the mind will have an easier time in dealing with spiritual matters.
Ananda Yoga is a type of yoga that was developed by Kriyananda, who studied under Yogananda. Yogananda is thought to be the first yoga teacher from India to go to the West to teach yoga here.
This type of yoga believes that we can have direct experience with God, a concept they call self-realization. It aims to bring harmony to all the aspects of a human - the emotional, physical, and mental states.
Another familiar type of yoga is the Mantra Yoga. This you may recognize because it was used as an example of yoga in many Hollywood and TV films. As the name depicts, Mantra yoga is done using sounds in the Hindu or Vedic language.
Remember the “Ommm” sound that you hear when you think of yoga? This is that type of yoga. That sound and other specific sounds are suppose to awaken the energy in us to help us focus on our present state and lead us to a higher level of consciousness.
These are just a few of the types of yoga that have been developed. There are so many others to choose from. The types of yoga listed above are just the more familiar or popular types of yoga.
If you want to start learning yoga, then knowing some of the type would help you decide if you want the physical type or the more mental type. Whichever type of yoga you choose, they all lead to the same goal. Learning to develop a higher state of mind in able to deal with the problems and challenges of our earthly world.
In India, yoga is practiced as a way of understanding life and all its glory. It’s main goal is to transcend what is earthly and find true peace and happiness. Although it started in India, it has reached into the far recesses of every corner of the globe to become a means to an end. When translated, yoga means “to unite” in Sanskrit.

The first known yoga institute was established in 1918 in Mumbai, the Yoga Institute of Santa Cruz. Here was revealed the ancient art of mental health interspersed with moral consciousness.
Yoga has been made commercially popular in the United States and other westernized countries, but what you see there is really not what the true yoga is all about. The Hollywood version of yoga is twisted poses combined with intense meditation and humming.
In reality, yoga is an attempt to be one with the Supreme Being. It’s like having levels of realization. In yoga, these levels are jnanayoga, dhyana yoga, and bhaktiyoga. As a beginner, you start at the lowest level which is the yoga aruruksa stage. You are expected to practice your craft and try to attain the top level of yoga arudha.
While there is nothing wrong with the yoga poses and postures, what one must remember is that yoga is not about the postures. The postures are a means to attain a desired level of mental maturity. Anyone can start yoga regardless of age because it does not discriminate a person because of gender, age, moral or mental health.
Yoga tries to teach detachment from all things material. This is why it focuses on meditation as its method. The different positions are really exercises that should help you control your senses in order to achieve a desired mental state of pure equilibrium.
There are different yoga systems like Hatha, Ashtanga, Kriya, and Pantanjali to name just some. In the Pantanjali system, the aim is to stop self gratification and avoid falling into that trap ever again. The Hatha system promotes the use of the body poses and postures as a means to be fit in order to be in sync with your spiritual side.
Raja or Ashtanga yoga is considered the highest form of yoga wherein one tries to be in tune with his human and divine consciousness by using meditation.
All yoga systems try to teach one that it is important to understand about cause and effect. For example, when you get sick, the effect is your mind is not as sharp. Your actions are compromised and you are not the same person you normally are.
Yoga is an art that is embraces anyone willing to learn how to enjoy life in the real sense. Many westerners have come to enjoy yoga as a form of relaxation, away from the inner struggles and demands of living in a materialistic world.
Eventually most of them find themselves looking for that moment when they can feel an inner peace, and leave every yoga session feeling totally rejuvenated.
Today, in the environment of competition the person feel stress due to different reasons. A person wants to set a co-ordination between the running life and the demands developing from the life and when he fails to do that he feel bored and tired. As if there is no charm or happiness in life is left. The problems related to family, neighbors and working place are not solved on time resulting in more
