Yoga raves
Started by the Art of Living, these parties don’t involve alcohol or drugs but stimulation through music, yoga, meditation and vegetarian food for those looking to have a healthy night out
Anti-gravity yoga
Soft fabric hammocks are used to suspend people three-four feet in the air, to maximise movement while exercising. Yoga in the air supposedly resulting in more fulfilling stretches and stress relief
Water-based yoga
Whether on the surface (stand-up paddle yoga) or underwater (aqua yoga), exercising in a calm, still water body like a swimming pool helps improve one’s balance and connection with nature’s elements
Tantrum yoga
Become a cranky child and vent all your frustration by screaming, stomping and thrashing around like a toddler, all while doing your asanas. Sounds quite nice to exercise and not act your age while at it, right?
