At YogaKoh, we firmly believe in listening to your body and tailoring your yoga practice to fit your personal needs. And while we only offer Vinyasa Flow teacher trainings, we practice all styles of yoga!
Different styles of yoga may suit your body on different days. Perhaps you wake up sore and groggy – a relaxing Yin class would feel more manageable and fulfilling than an upbeat Vinyasa class. The ultimate goal of yoga is to walk away feeling in tune with your mind and body.

If you have mostly A’s … you should take a Hatha Yoga class!
Today, you’re in need of a more balanced approach to yoga. You’ll enjoy a class that combines your strength, flexibility, and mindfulness practices. Hatha Yoga offers a variety of poses at a steady pace, making it perfect for beginners, yogis looking to scale back from more intense styles, or anyone looking to expand their practice!
If you have mostly B’s … you should take a Yin Yoga class!
Today, stress relief, relaxation, and ‘Me Time’ is your top priority. Yin Yoga, or restorative yoga, will be your ideal class as it focuses on deep stretches, mediation, calming your mind, and grounding yourself in long hold poses. Use your Yin practice as a way to seek a deeper connection with your inner self and your spirituality – you may even drift off into a light sleep!
If you have mostly C’s … you should take a Vinyasa Flow Yoga class!
Today, you’re ready to jump in and get moving! A Vinyasa Flow class will be the perfect intensity to match your energy, keeping your mind engaged and toning your body with its fast-paced sequences and challenging flows. You will surely leave your Vinyasa Yoga class feeling energized, strong, and ready to take on your day!
No matter which style of yoga you choose to practice, you’ll surely walk out of the studio feeling better than when you arrived. Feel free to take this quiz as many times as you need to continue checking in with yourself. We hope you have a fulfilling yoga class!
As always, keep practicing!
