There are many to explore but we’ve rounded up some of the three basic styles to appeal to every level of energy and challenge: Hatha: the mindful one Hatha yoga truly encourages the mind-body connection. It is a very traditional practice focused on slow, controlled and focused movements while working with the breath and calming the mind.

Sweating—particularly when working out—is your body’s natural defence from over-heating. When sweat evaporates from your skin’s surface, it removes excess heat and cools you down. But if you’ve spent a sweltering dry season trying to keep cool and avoid getting sweaty, it’s time to rethink your relationship with sweat as the rains arrive!
