Our zodiac sun signs tells us so much about how we interact with the world in general and it also can help us decide what yoga style works best with our personality. Below I will go through each sun sign and give suggestions on what yoga style might just be your new favorite mind/body exercise.
Aries:
Aries, may we know them and love them. These fire cracker signs are the pioneers of the zodiac. They love anything new and daring. They have energy for days and are often the life of the party.

Taurus:
The traditional, hardworking yet sometimes lazy sign of the zodiac. Taurus is often hard at work in their daily lives and enjoy relaxing when possible, enjoying the lux life. A restorative class with a mix of hot rocks, essential oils and adjustments will make Taurus feel right at home. Taurus is all about the 5 senses, and mixing in those small but important details will have them coming back for more.
Gemini:
Their mind never stops. They have so many thoughts in that twin brain and need a way to acknowledge all of them. A meditation class would do the Gemini some good. Yoga is a style of moving meditation, but to be one with your thoughts and to have a guide to assist and a reminder to stop the racing mind is something totally different and beneficial. Give it a few tries before you judge it Gemini.
Cancer:
Cancers are the emotions of the zodiac, they are ruled by the water element. Kundalini is a practice that focuses on balancing the chakras and can help cancer find balance within their emotions.
