What the Yoga Wheel Measures
Each axis is a practical signal, not just a label. The wheel tells visitors why a style fits their goals, and it connects directly to the style detail pages.
Flexibility
How much a style opens hips, hamstrings, shoulders, and spine.
High flexibility scores usually reflect long holds, deep stretching, and progressive mobility work.
Example styles: Yin Yoga, Iyengar, Ananda Yoga
Strength
How demanding a style is for the core, shoulders, legs, and full-body control.
Higher scores reflect vinyasa, arm balances, sustained holds, and repeated transitions.
Example styles: Ashtanga, Power Yoga, AcroYoga
Balance
How much a style trains single-leg stability, proprioception, and control.
Balance-heavy styles teach steadiness under pressure and better body awareness.
Example styles: Iyengar, AcroYoga, Ashtanga
Breath
How central breathwork and pranayama are to the practice.
Styles with high breath scores make breathing the engine of the sequence, not an afterthought.
Example styles: Kundalini, Yoga Nidra, Jivamukti
Mind
How much the style supports meditation, focus, self-inquiry, and calm.
High mind scores typically mean the class includes philosophy, stillness, or reflection.
Example styles: Yoga Nidra, Kripalu, Jivamukti
Use the wheel as a navigation layer
The wheel works when every axis leads somewhere useful, so each label should point to a real explanation, a real style, or a real article.
