What is Yoga and what are the 16 types of Yoga connected to 7 chakras

What is Yoga and what are the 16 types of Yoga connected to 7 chakras

In June 2023, I gave myself the best gifts of all: a full month for myself, my self-care, and my self-growth, going for a full month to Nepal, joining three different courses (Yoga, Reiki, and Singing Bowls) and enjoying this wonderful country and all the care I received at the Himalayan Yoga Academy.
As part of the Yoga Teacher training and the requirements to obtain the certification, in addition to practicing daily at least 90 minutes of Hatha Yoga and 90 minutes of Ashtanga Yoga, I was required to complete three written assignments, three practical assignments, a written exam and to prepare a 20-minute presentation deepening research and understanding on a topic of choice. Since I’m really fascinated by overviews and a deep understanding of concepts and connections among them, I choose to look at the different types of yoga (did you know there are 16 main ones?) in relation to the 7 different chakras.
In this post, I share with you my findings about what is Yoga really and the 16 types of yoga connected to the 7 chakras.
