In this episode of the Rockin’ Wellness Podcast, Rachel Joy Olsen breaks down some of the most common styles of yoga—Yin, Yoga Nidra, Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Restorative—and explains how each one feels, what it supports, and when it might be the most helpful. You’ll learn how different practices can calm your nervous system, build strength, release tension, or offer deep rest, and how to match your current energy and emotional state with the style that will serve you best. If you’ve ever felt confused by class names or unsure which type of yoga is “right” for you, this episode will help you build a personal yoga toolkit that supports your real life, not an idealized version of it.
