The Astrological Signs as Yoga Styles

This should be taken 100% seriously.

Aries zodiac sign memes
Aries/Power Yoga

As a fire sign, Aries would have to be a yoga style that makes you sweat. This sign also tends to get bored easily, so they need variety in their classes and power yoga is not like other traditional practices that generally use the same postures. Aries are also very ambitious and treat everything like a game; power yoga can certainly be ranked as one of the most competitive classes to take. Ever taken a CorePower class? The front row is 80% Aries and 20% Leos.

Taurus/Yin Yoga

Earth sign Taureans would be the calming Yin Yoga practice. Taureans are grounded, relaxed, and stable, just like a gentle Yin Yoga class that holds postures for several minutes and calms you into a meditative state. Taureans also love to cuddle and Yin Yoga offers a big bolster pillow that you get to hug almost continually throughout the class.

Gemini/AcroYoga

If you know a Gemini, then you know that they never stop talking. Hence, an AcroYoga class seems like the only suitable option as it allows for conversation and a partner who will be forced to engage in never-ending conversation. Geminis are also air signs that are versatile and creative, so AcroYoga gives them ultimate freedom through an ungrounded flow.

cancer zodiac sign memes
Cancer/Anusara

Cancers are sensitive, emotional, and devoted, making Anusara yoga the perfect fit with its heart-opening qualities and focus on spirituality and emotions. Anusara is a gentle practice that isn’t demanding like Rocket or Power Yoga, so this is ideal for Cancers who seek comfort rather than challenges.

leo zodiac sign memes
Leo/Rocket

As a Leo, I hurt my own feelings by making this one but we must continue with the stereotypes. Leos are fire signs like Aries so they need a demanding practice that pushes them to the edges of perfection. Rocket yoga with its inversions, quick pace, and Instagrammable asanas is a perfect fit for Leos who want all the attention on them.

virgo  zodiac sign memes
Virgo/Kundalini

Virgos are the opposite yoga practice from Leos, they are humble and grounded, and they don’t need anything flashy or quick-paced. Kundalini yoga is the perfect fit with its focus on the root chakra and enlightenment. This practice is more gentle than others and therefore perfect for Virgos who prefer a slow-paced life.

libra  zodiac sign memes
Libra/Buti Yoga

Admittedly, I have never tried Buti Yoga but thanks to Google I’m going to pretend I’m an expert. Libras need social interaction and Buti Yoga offers this through tribal dance that gives the class a family feel. Libra’s also crave balance and harmony, Buti Yoga does just this by aiming to “cleanse and release toxic energy” (Source: Byrdie, thanks Google).

scorpio zodiac sign memes
Scorpio/SUP Yoga

As a water sign, it is only fitting that Scorpios be represented by SUP Yoga. Besides the aquatic factor, this type of yoga has Scorpio written all over it. You need to be brave when trying this sport, especially if it’s in the ocean (ever tried a headstand in the middle of the sea?) It’s the perfect surge of adrenaline and adventure that Scorpios seek.

sagittarius zodiac sign memes
Sagittarius/Ashtanga

This fire sign deserves a heated yoga practice, hence Ashtanga yoga. Not only is this one of the sweatiest classes you can take but it provides that extra challenge that Sagittariuses crave. Also, since Ashtanga follows the same sequence of asanas, you can clearly see your improvement which is very important to a Sagittariuses.

capricorn  zodiac sign memes
Capricorn/Integral

Capricorns are gentle earth signs that prefer structure and stability over competition and challenges. Integral yoga matches these needs and provides a healthy, responsible way to take care of your body. This yoga practice is more adult-like, just like Capricorns; there is less play/jumping/sweating and more resting with intentional movements.

aquarius zodiac sign memes
Aquarius/AeroYoga

As an air sign, it is only fitting that Aquarius be represented by AeroYoga. It is the perfect way to feel like you’re flying and is a more playful practice than most. Aquarians also need freedom and what is more freeing than hanging upside down while swinging on two silks?

pisces zodiac sign memes
Pisces/Vinyasa

And finally the Pisces that craves imagination and artistic creativity. In a Vinyasa class you have the freedom to move however feels right and the flows tend to be more creative than other yoga styles. As an affectionate person, Pisces also appreciate romantic movements, which are provided by Vinyasa classes (just look at that Wild Thing asana up above).
