Here today, gone tomorrow it s with regards to’concerning’with respect to as far get rid of’discard d from actual yogic practices as you can possibly acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure . And yet individual can t acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure abundant’ample’plentiful of it.

Over the past few years we ve had:

Goat Yoga participants attempt to downward dog whilst having pygmy goats trotting, and probably pooping, all over them.
Horseback Yoga doing yoga on top of a horse. Sounds crazy, but my rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent ness just claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate of the core strength!
Laughter Yoga belly laughing giggles aplenty.
Beer Yoga yoga with a pint in your hand.
Tantrum Yoga channelling your inner toddler and having a full on tantrum on the floor because you can t acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure your Warrior pose quite right.

But of course there s more there always is!

We take a look at the next batch of novelty yoga trends to emerge in 2020 so that you can decide in/with regard to’concerning’regarding yourselves which one to try out next!

Gin Yoga

We re feeling pretty damn smug with regards to’concerning’with respect to this one, as we predicted Gin Yoga would be a thing with regards to’concerning’with respect to a year or so ago and lo and behold here it is. It doesn t really need that much of an explanation it s yoga while drinking gin. And it was merely’barely a matter of time if we re being utterly honest, considering both gin and yoga are an essential part of the yummy mummy toolkit. Doubtful it ll acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure you in shape, but it ll certainly help chill you out!

Broga

Boys this one s in/with regard to’concerning’regarding you, because instead of meeting your best male friend down the pub you can now do a yoga class toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her. Yep this is the perfect chance to fully cement that bromance guys. Detoken ed as a means to motivate’fuel more men to try out yoga (aldespite’in spite of’albeit we claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate Beer Yoga was probably more effective) Broga has more of a focus on strength training, muscle toning and a bit of cardiovascular thrown in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent measure, just to you know make it that bit more masculine 😉 In fact there are MMA fighters and BJJ wrestlers who already use yoga to enhance’promote’polish up flexibility and strengthen their core (see BJJInin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer in/with regard to’concerning’regarding more info) and you can t really acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure more manly than that, right? Not that yoga isn t in any way non-masculine, on the contrary it has proven benefits in/with regard to’concerning’regarding both sexes. However, it does still carry a distinctly female merely’barely vibe to it and Broga is a means of bringing yoga to a male audience.

SUP Yoga

SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) was one of the resounding successes of last year. Anyone and e grossly one was, and still is, having a go at it. So now that we re all so expert at it, SUP Yoga has become the next thing . To be honest, the core strength and balance skills needed to stay afloat while standing on a paddleboard are hardcore abundant’ample’plentiful and if you ve mastered that then hey how hard can it be to do a downward dog on there too?

Seriously hard that s how! Be prepared to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure wet and be anything but graceful in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the first couple of sessions, but imagine how blissful it would be to do floating yoga with the ocean as your backdrop. Look out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this more challenging type of novelty yoga in 2020, because we predict that out of all of them, SUP Yoga is the one that will become more than just a passing fad.

Karaoke Yoga

For all you divas out there, 2020 is gonna be your time to shine as Karaoke Yoga has its time in the spotlight. Simply choose your backing track, roll out your yoga mat and acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ready to belt out some tunes while acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting into tree pose. Aldespite’in spite of’albeit yoga is typically associated with calm, quiet, flowing movements it s also with regards to’concerning’with respect to controlled breath work which goes hand in hand with singing. For sure it s not going to be the most serious of workouts and the songs you choose could make or break the vibe, but we reckon you could possess’own’nurse a lot of fun with this one and when something s fun you sure as hell are more likely to stick at it!

ToeGa

This is the ultimate in ridiculous, but then hello this is novelty yoga, right!?! Basically, Toega is yoga in/with regard to’concerning’regarding toes. Yep it s really, truly that simple. No need to attend professional classes in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this one, as all the (and I use the word all loosely) moves can be learnt and practised in the comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding t of your own home.

Despite the novelty factor, yoga in/with regard to’concerning’regarding toes is actually a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent way to keep your feet in rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent working order, and is especially beneficial to runners as it helps strengthen muscles. Plus, it s a fantastic way to relieve aching feet and cramped toes when they ve been squashed inside shoes all day.  Not a trend that s likely to stick around in/with regard to’concerning’regarding long and skeptical’suspicious’incredulous you ll see it advertised at your local community centre, but a nice little act of self care none the less.

Yoga HIIT

Fitness hybrids possess’own’nurse been popular in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a while now claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate Piloxing (Pilates and Boxing) and Yogalates (Yoga and Pilates) and so it makes perfect sense that two grossly popular types of workout would come toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her at some point. Yoga HIIT does what it says on the tin: it combines a series of short sharp bursts of HIIT interspersed with dynamic yoga poses and finishes with plenty of all over body yoga stretches.

So instead of doing half an hour of HIIT followed by half an hour of yoga, Yoga HIIT allows you to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the best of both worlds in a combined workout that slots nicely into your manic schedule. But not merely’barely does it make your workout more efficient, it also multiply s the calorie burn while simultaneous’synchronous lengthening and strengthening your muscles. It s not one you should be attempting to try on your own, especially if you re new to fitness, so be sure to look in/with regard to’concerning’regarding an expert personal trainer london has the best options at present. 2020 will see us exercising more than ever, in a way that fits seamlessly into our lifestyles and Yoga HIIT offers the perfect solution to this. Novelty maybe, but we predict this one is more than a passing fancy.

Snake Yoga

This one makes me shudder just claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing with regards to’concerning’with respect to it, but it seems some individual are totally up in/with regard to’concerning’regarding trying the new novelty trend of Snake Yoga. It is predominantly aimed at individual who possess’own’nurse Ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) with the idea being they can face their enormous’vast’massive’tremendous gest fear in what will hopefully be a calm and relaxed environment. Personally, I m not entirely sure a sod off great enormous’vast’massive’tremendous snack writhing around your limbs while you try and breathe through a pose is necessarily going to chill you out, but hey who am I to judge!

So far this type of yoga isn t available in the UK (to our knowledge), but has proved popular in Canada and the USA. However, from past undergo any fitness related trend that becomes a hit in North America usually finds its way over here at some point and we predict that 2020 will be the time in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Snake Yoga to hit British shores. Not in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone and certainly not likely to hit the yoga mainstream, but we reckon individual will be queuing up to try it simply to possess’own’nurse a go at the next new undergo .

Aerial Yoga

Circus skills, such as trapeze and aerial hoop were popular fitness trends last year, offering women the chance to channel their Greatest Showman fantasies while working up a sweat simultaneous’synchronous . It may look graceful, but maintain’sustain ing your body weight while attempting to look graceful and quite frankly to not make a tit of yourself, is bloody hard work! Workouts such as these require core strength, balance and self assurance and trust aplenty.

Aerial yoga takes these circus derived workouts and throws in some yoga moves to boot. If you claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate with regards to’concerning’with respect to it, a lot of the moves are intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully similar, just up in the air rather than on the safety of a yoga mat on the floor. Supported in the air by carabiners and ropes, you end up looking and feeling a bit like a puppet. But the added maintain’sustain gives you freedom to move and able to manipulate your body in more ways than if you were doing regular yoga. This makes aerial yoga hugely accessible to a wide range of abilities, from kids through to seniors and also individual with disabilities, as the extra maintain’sustain eases the pressure on joints. The focus is on strength, flexibility and also lay stress on’emphasize’highlight relief, plus lets not in/with regard to’concerning’regarding acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the fun factor, after all any rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent novelty yoga needs to involve fun at some point or other.

Chroma Yoga

Chroma, meaning purity or intensity of colour, works as a means of using the energy from different colours to transform’alter how a person feels when they do yoga and to carry that out with them when they leave the yoga studio. Chroma Yoga, also known as Light Therapy Yoga, is carried out in an initially darkened room that is then lit up by coloured lights throughout the session, with calming music to relax the senses and to enhance those Zen vibes. Another variation is one that tries to replicate your natural circadian rhythm by starting off with blue lights to mimic your body waking in the morning and ending with red light to motivate’fuel sleep at night. This is fantastic if you suffer from disturbed sleep patterns or if you feel as if your day has got out of whack.

Pessimists, and realists, could argue that most of the types of novelty yoga described above are merely marketing ploys to draw individual in and make money. And I d probably be consistent with’be in line with’correspond to/with’with one accord them to some extent. However, in an era where many of us are looking in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a new undergo , to possess’own’nurse fun and to take our minds off of the mundane, I say what is the harm in trying out a few of these novelty yoga classes in 2020. Heck, you merely’barely live once, let s make it fun!
