It’s no longer just about Bikram or vinyasa. So roll out your mat and limber up!
If you’ve never been a “yoga person”, then now is the time to challenge that perception. Gone are the days where yoga was just for serious stretch-aholics. Now there are a string of yoga-inspired classes that mix and match a range of disciplines.
Nobody knows that better than nutritionist, yoga teacher and author of The Yoga Body Lola Berry.
“With so many different styles, it can take a few goes to find the right class for you,” she says. “My advice is to start with a beginner’s class – even if you feel pretty fit. It’s better to start with the basics and build from there.”
To help us understand our Bikram from our hot yoga, we asked Berry to explain the new generation of classes:
ACRO
This is a blend of acrobatics and yoga, and is heaps of fun provided you have well-trained instructors and a buddy you can trust. Generally, one person is “base” and the other “flies”. It’s actually quite safe (and easier than you might think), as long as you are taught the correct alignment. Best for: the adventurous soul who loves working out in pairs.
