I've been doing Hatha almost exclusively. I used to practice Ashtanga years ago, but the way it paces based on breaths plus the fact that I tend to breathe longer and slower than everyone else in the world meant that I ended up feeling more anxious than fulfilled, because I would end up either three poses behind or cutting my poses short to keep up with the class pace. I'm going to try it again sometime, though, see if how I feel has changed. Hatha really suits me -- the pace, the focus on strength through alignment, the gentle un-self-conscious challenge of it. The studio I attend has some Hatha Flow and Vinyasa classes I've been eyeing, but I'm biding my time getting really comfortable with regular Hatha practice first. I've done some Restorative classes, but they kind of bore me for the most part. I also tried like, two Kundalini classes ages ago, and I might check that out again too. So yes, I mix it up. :)
How do you like yogaglo? I've had that recced to me, but haven't had the chance to check it out yet.
