Yoga is a type of movement and fitness that takes a long time to learn and become a part of someone's life. It is a lifestyle choice and needs to be incorporated into the individuals routine to be truly effective. Instructors should be willing to work with students about how to accomplish this in their life.

For beginning yoga students the best types of yoga may be Viniyoga, Kripalu and Ananda. These Hatha yoga styles focus on stretching and relaxation rather than specific positions and technical components.

Yoga can be taught for many reasons through many channels. For those that need some way to reduce the amount of stress in their lives, yoga can be just that for them. Consider finding a yoga program that is specific for this goal and you will find yourself relaxed.
