What are the benefits of yoga and which is best for me?

yoga
curious asked:


I know there are different types of yoga. Which is for someone who has a build of 5′5″ and 110 pounds ( so no weight loss, or heavy-sweating type yoga)? I just want to maintain flexibility and give myself more energy without coffee.

    I’d suggest hatha yoga. It’s not strenuous in a cardiovascular way. It promotes flexibility and relaxation, and increases your ability to focus and feel alert. I find that I need less sleep and have more energy with this type of yoga. :)
    Anusara yoga is of the same branch, with a focus on alignment. I like this one quite a bit since I have lower back issues.

    Enjoy, and Namaste! :)
