Rating of the best yoga studios in Moscow for 2020

It is never too late to improve yourself, and thanks to the ancient Indian teachings, this has become much easier. In recent years, yoga has become a popular "sport", which is aimed primarily at correcting the psychophysical state through intense concentration of attention. Dozens of establishments open annually in the Moscow region and in the capital itself, but it is not always possible to choose a good studio. The review was compiled by the best yoga studios in the capital for 2020, the most comfortable, interesting and affordable.

Yoga and its types - the difference in teachings, selection criteria

The question of how to choose a good studio is impossible to answer unequivocally. It is important to study what directions of yoga are, and then, based on their descriptions, decide on practical exercises. There are two classes of yoga: traditional and modern. Most institutions adhere to the first category, however, due to the physiological and emotional state of a person, as well as the varying degrees of his training, modern methods are practiced - simpler, in comparison with the classical directions.

Table - "Types of traditional yoga directions and their differences among themselves"

Name:	The essence of the teachings:	Description:
"Hatha"	unity of purpose and soul: the way to improve physical, psychological and mental health	the teachings are aimed at bodily improvement with the help of static postures with elements of breathing exercises and cleansing techniques
"Bhakti"	teaching about love and devotion to God	classes are related to spiritual practice: meditation, worship, prayer. The course includes listening to texts from the holy letter
"Jnana"	path of knowledge	the purpose of the lesson is self-knowledge, establishing a connection with God, by mastering the information provided by the teacher and the holy letter
"Karma"	way of action	performing prescribed duties to please God
"Rajah"	way of introspection	mind control through meditation

All modern yoga directions are offshoots of traditional teachings. In order not to make mistakes when choosing a studio, you need to have a general idea of ​​the essence of modern types of yoga. The Hatha direction is very popular, therefore a few words about its branches.

"Hatha yoga" and its directions - a short description

These directions are developed by author's schools and methodologies. There are more than 40 subsections in Hatha yoga. The most common are:

• "Tri" - a series of physical and breathing practices inherent only in this movement;
• Yoga for old-timers - simple vocabulary, backed up by simplified general toning, relaxing asanas;
• Yoga "23" - a combination of exercises "Hatha" yoga, martial arts, sports training, swimming, fitness and freediving;
• "Bikram Yoga" - conducting classes in a tropical climate: rooms that maintain high humidity and temperature.

Also included in this category is yoga for weight loss, pregnant women, power orientation, with dance elements, etc.

Choosing a yoga studio - recommendations

There is a certain plan according to which it will be easier for a beginner to navigate in choosing an institution. The first thing to look out for is the type of techniques taught in the studio. If a beginner in this business has not fully understood in all directions, then he can attend a trial lesson, which can be either paid or free (depending on the organization).

The second is the interior. Much depends on the interior of the room, it should be comfortable, light and spacious, preferably with ventilation, so that the influx of fresh air never runs out. A person should be relaxed during classes.

The third is the collective. A pleasant friendly interaction should be not only with the mentor, but also with any other person (fellow in the class, service personnel).

The fourth is the age limit. Studios can be for a child or adults, as well as a combined type.

Fifth is the location. It is advisable to find an institution close to home or work to make it easier to get there.

Sixth - opening hours. The schedule of studios can be varied. Classes are held in the early morning, afternoon, evening and after 21:00.

Seventh is the highest mark. A certified studio is one of the main selection criteria. It guarantees that all the techniques taught will not harm the client's health.

Eighth - reviews. According to the comments of clients, one can give some kind of assessment of the studio's activities, which will help to understand whether it is worth signing up for classes there.

The ninth is the cost of classes. Not everyone can afford to visit the best institutions, because a huge number of people choose inexpensive studios or those where promotions and discounts are set.

An additional impetus in choosing will be the advice of mentors in trial lessons, after which the question will be decided whether you need it.
