The Best Yoga for Meditation: Anusara

A hatha-based style, the anusara practice allows ample time for self-exploration, thought, and discovery, making it one of the better portals for you to uncover your own spirituality, Imparato says. There's more movement than iyengar but less than ashtanga, and the instructor will talk most of the time, weaving life lessons throughout the entire class. As you listen, pay attention to the thoughts that arise in your own mind, Imparato says. You may find yourself following your own meditation, inspired by your teacher's words.

Find it: Search this certified anusara teacher directory for a class near you, as this type is typically held in anusara-specific studios or schools.
