Namaste Yoga Aruba  ·  Wellness Guide

20 Types of Yoga

Find the practice that fits your body, your life, and your soul.

Yoga is not one-size-fits-all — and that is its greatest gift. Whether you come to the mat to heal, to move, to breathe, or simply to be still, there is a practice designed exactly for where you are right now.

At Namaste Yoga Aruba, we don't follow a fixed script. We combine styles from across the full spectrum of yoga — intuitively, energetically, and always in response to you. Every class is uniquely designed around the needs of every yogi in the room. We work with energy and feel what each group needs, which is what makes each session so deeply healing. You will leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Explore all 20 styles below — then come experience them woven together, just for you.

Boosts cardiovascular health and burns calories through fluid, breath-linked movement. Energising and creative.

04
Kundalini Yoga
30 minutes
Awakens spiritual energy and reduces stress and anxiety through breathwork, chanting, and dynamic movement.
05 🎯
Iyengar Yoga
30 minutes
Deep relaxation and stress relief using props for perfect alignment. Especially helpful for insomnia and chronic tension.

Pure deep relaxation. Held poses with full prop support invite the nervous system to completely let go — beautiful for stress relief and insomnia.
07 ☀️

Burns calories, boosts metabolism, and tones the body while specifically targeting and relieving chronic back discomfort.
15 🐾

Long-held passive postures that work deep into the connective tissue and joints. Meditative, still, and profoundly releasing.

The yoga of the breath. Regulates the nervous system, improves focus and sleep, and is a foundational practice for every style of yoga.
20 🙏
Meditation Yoga

Sitting in stillness with the breath. The quietest practice — and often the most profound. Where the real transformation begins.
