Kundalini yoga is the practice of channeling spiritual energy through the central channel of the body in a process of spiritual perfection. Kundalini is defined in tantra as energy that lies within the body, frequently at the navel or base of the spine.

Ashtanga yoga is practiced in Mysore, India. It is the origin of vinyasa yoga, a flowing style of yoga that connects breath to movement. The goal of this type of yoga is to purify the body and mind, and the best way to accomplish this is by rapid movement.

All of the physical postures of yoga are collectively referred to as "hatha" in Sanskrit. Due to the similarities in their asanas, vinyasa and hatha yoga are frequently contrasted. To guarantee perfect execution of each position, it is often advised to move much more slowly.

The main goals of restorative yoga are to help you unwind after a hard day and clear your head. Yoga for healing also aids in clearing and releasing the mind. These positions will assist in stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which in turn encourages the  parasympathetic nervous system to "relax and digest".
