The Benefits of Yoga Part II

While many of our customers choose Sore No More to help combat their chronic pains, (arthritis, bursitis, headaches, fibromyalgia, etc.)  there are also many who choose it to use on their sore post-exercise muscles.  

Wouldn’t you rather be the latter type of user?   Since yoga may help manage chronic pain, it’s a very real possibility!  Here are some types of yoga that you might be interested in trying;

  • Vinyasa - focuses on movement matched to breaths.
    Level: Beginner to Advanced (ask at the studio)
  • Ashtanga- “Power Yoga”- Fast paced and intense.  Focuses on a constant flow of movement
    Level: Intermediate or Advanced
  • Iyengar- Focuses on Body Alignment and holding poses for long periods
    Level: Beginner to Advanced (ask at studio)
  • Kundalini- Intense focus on breath/pose collaboration
    Level: Beginner to Advanced (ask at studio)
  • Bickram/Hot Yoga: Yoga performed at hot temperatures (95-100 degrees). Focuses on detoxification and relaxing muscles.
    Level: Beginner to Advanced (ask at studio)
It can get overwhelming, even knowing the different types of yoga, to decide what might be right for you.  In the next couple of weeks, we’ll go over these types and discuss what their health benefits are.  If you decide to get started before then, don’t forget to keep your Sore No More near by.  Even the gentle practice of yoga can leave your newly stretched and strengthened muscles sore for a couple of days.
