How many types of yoga's are there?
I know there are several different types. Can anyone please explain what types there are and what's is done in each of them. Thanks, just curious. Need to be enlightened.
Will assume you mean types of Hatha yoga (the practice of physical postures known as asanas), as opposed to 'non-physical' forms of yoga - such as Bhakti, Karma, Jnana yoga, in which asana practice is not a central component.
I've never seen a list of Hatha yoga styles that claims to include them all.
This may likely be mainly because people are frequently modifying, combining, or creating 'new' styles of Hatha yoga.
Within last fifty years or so, especially in Western hemisphere , Hatha yoga has become heavily commercialized; thus there is financial, and ego(fame) incentive to create/teach/promote 'the latest and greatest" form of Hatha yoga as a business.
Noting that, the list of styles, with brief descriptions, at following site is a good start.
