On the Mat

Āsana 101: Which Āsana Practice is Right for You?


Listen Later

Not all yoga is the same…and that’s a good thing. Because WE are not all the same. 

Whether you're new to the practice, returning after time away, or simply curious about exploring something new, this episode of On the Mat is your guide to understanding the many forms of āsana, the physical limb of yoga.

Leah breaks down the major styles of yoga practiced today, from Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga to Yin, Restorative, and Kundalini, including their roots, unique benefits, and what kind of practitioner they serve. She shares historical context, cultural influences, and even the controversies that have shaped how yoga is practiced in the modern world.

You’ll walk away with a clearer sense of what style might best support your body, your energy, and your goals - whether that’s sweat, stillness, structure, or soul work. Because finding the right practice can be the difference between feeling disconnected and feeling at home on your mat.
