The science of yoga has developed a vast amount of techniques which all lead to the same point of unification of the mind-body-spirit.
Karma Yoga: the way of right action, serving without the motivation of obtaining the results of labor.
Bhakti Yoga: the way of devotion, devotion to a supreme being absorbing the emotions and self in pure love.
Jnana Yoga: the way of knowledge, studying god and learning to discriminate between illusion and the reality that all is god.
Hatha Yoga: the physical path, using the body through asana and pranayama to control the mind and senses.
Tantric Yoga: the feminine path, worshiping the goddess energy and seeing the body as the temple of the divine.
Kundalini Yoga: the path of energy, arousing the energy stored in the chakras through breathing and movement.
Raja Yoga: the path of meditation, controlling the mind from wandering and obtaining mastery over thought.
