RAJA YOGA
This way is methodical and introspective. Through meditative
practice, it seeks to "control" the mind. Developing a relationship
with "God" or "consciousness" requires detaching from one's
egocentric sense of self and replacing it with a sense of oneness
with the actual Self that exists in all beings. Because of its focus on
inside transformation rather than public spiritual demonstration,
Raja yoga is often viewed as a very disciplined practice.

JNANA YOGA
Able to think and act wisely; knowledgeable. This practice is
known as the yoga of knowledge, or the awakening to one's own
authenticity. It was first described around 400 BC and has since
gained a reputation as one of the most straightforward yet
challenging routes to enlightenment. Jnana yogis are typically
regarded as priests and academics because of their dedication to the
practice of incessant self-study.

TANTRA YOGA
"Tan" means "to expand" or "to weave," and it is from these verbs
that Tantra derives. Its origins can be traced back to around 500
BC, when it was practiced as a religion focused on the
investigation of all aspects, sensations, and energies that weave
through the body and mind. It is the first time the physicality of the
human body started to become essential within a yogic
environment, and it dominated Indian culture for nearly a thousand
years in its more moderate versions.

HATHA YOGA
Yoga is a Force of Nature. Many yoga instructors interpret these
two Sanskrit words to signify the Sun (Ha) and the Moon (Tha),
respectively, and explain that the goal of the physical yoga practise
is to achieve a state of internal harmony between these two
elements (Sun and Moon). Hatha yoga's true meaning and essence
is to alter one's body and mind via experimentation, movement, and
physical power.

BHAKTI YOGA
Devotion. Bhakti is derived from the root term 'Bhaj,' the core of
which is 'to share,' and it was first used in The Bhagavad Gita
approximately 300 B.C. Heartfelt devotion to a personal deity is
the foundation of this style of yoga (Ishta Devata). Bhakti yoga,
like Karma yoga, emphasizes service to a deity or "God" as a
central practice.

KARMA YOGA
This yoga tradition, which was first referenced around 300 B.C., is
central to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Giving without
expecting anything in return is at the heart of Karma Yoga. It is
fundamental to Indian philosophy and religion since it is through
this practice that one can reach unity with "the divine" by viewing
all of one's actions as a sacrifice to God.
