What it is
Yoga covers a wide range of styles. Hatha is generally slower and instructional, vinyasa flows continuously, yin holds passive stretches for minutes at a time, and hot yoga adds heat.

How to choose a provider in the UK
- Match the style to what you want — a vinyasa class is not a gentle first class.
- Beginners' courses tend to teach more than drop-in classes.
- Tell the teacher about injuries, pregnancy or blood-pressure conditions before class begins.
Sensible questions to ask
- Which style is this class, and is it suitable for beginners?
- How long have you taught, and where did you train?
- Can you offer alternatives if a posture doesn't work for me?
