This meta-analysis examines the impact of various yoga styles on flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. Yoga is an old practice that combines meditation, breathing exercises, and physical postures. It is well-known for being good for both your mental and physical health. Nevertheless, the influence of particular yoga styles on physical fitness components is still insufficiently investigated. This analysis integrates current research regarding the impacts of diverse yoga styles, such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Bikram, and Kundalini, to assess their roles in enhancing flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. The results show which styles might work best for certain health goals and fitness goals.
