One of the most diverse types of exercises classes are yoga based and it is possible to find a London yoga class that can suit your individual requirements.

For example you may want to lose weight. Therefore the power equivalent uses a more intense variation of the exercise. Another example that can be effective is what is known as hot yoga where people do the exercise in heated rooms in order to sweat more and achieve further weight loss.

It should also be stated that there are different types of class available. For example a lot of people want to lose weight. The power version features a more intense version of this type of exercise and therefore is more appropriate for people who crave a more intense variant while at the same time still gaining the benefit of increased flexibility.

People also want to go to a yoga class in order to relax more. It is an effective way to reduce stress. Aside from making life a bit more bearable reducing stress can also mean a reduced risk of heat problems and breathing difficulties as well as fewer sleeping problems. It also means you are less likely to comfort eat or excessively smoke or drink alcohol as a result of stress.

As well as the type of class you should also look at the instructor. A look at their website will give you a guide to their perspective. Often the look of the site and the language used will be a good indication of whether their style is more about discipline and keeping fit or whether it is about a more relaxed approach.

There is no right or wrong to this. Some people prefer a more formal structure. They find that having someone giving them firm instruction motivates them more and tends to get better results than if they try to exercise themselves. Other people may prefer a more gentle method of instruction.

However people may tend to go to a yoga class because they want a more relaxed approach. Therefore they seek out instructors who will gently help them through their class and not take the more military style approach to teaching. Neither approach is necessarily right or wrong and often people will not be one extreme or the other and will adapt depending on the type of students they get in their class. Their website will often be a good indication of their approach as well as providing details of their qualifications and level of experience.
