If you’re familiar with Chinese philosophies, you’ll know that where there’s a yin, there’s always a yang. The same is true when it comes to yin and yang styles of yoga. 

The Yang varieties tend to be vigorous, fast-paced classes like vinyasa, Bikram power and Ashtanga, whereas the yin variety tends to be slower and more meditative like yin yoga.
