Vinyasa

Vinyasa yoga is a popular style of yoga that emphasizes linking breath with movement. In Sanskrit, "vinyasa" means "to place in a special way," and in the context of yoga, it refers to a sequence of poses that are performed in a continuous, flowing manner.

Yin

Yin yoga is a slower-paced style of yoga that involves holding passive poses for an extended period of time, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or longer. The practice is designed to target the deeper connective tissues of the body, such as the ligaments, tendons, and fascia, rather than the muscles, which are the primary focus of other styles of yoga.

Ashtanga

Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic and physically demanding style of yoga that was popularized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century. The practice consists of a set sequence of postures, or asanas, which are designed to purify and strengthen the body and calm the mind.

Types of Yoga Practice

Yoga is a holistic system of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that originated in ancient India over 5,000 years ago. The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which means to yoke or unite, and the practice is designed to integrate and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit.

The physical aspect of yoga involves various postures, or asanas, that are designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. Breath control, or pranayama, is also an important part of yoga, as it helps to calm the mind and increase awareness of the body. Meditation, or dhyana, is another important aspect of yoga, as it helps to cultivate a sense of inner peace and connect with a higher consciousness.

01

Vinyasa

Our experienced teacher will lead students through a series of poses, or “asanas,” while coordinating the breath with each movement. The transitions between poses are often fluid and dynamic, and the pace of the class may be faster than in other styles of yoga.

While vinyasa yoga can be challenging, it is accessible to people of all levels, as modifications and variations can be made to suit individual needs and abilities.

02

Yin Yoga

In a typical yin yoga class, students will hold each pose for several minutes while focusing on breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch. The poses are typically seated or lying down, and props such as blocks, blankets, or bolsters may be used to support the body and help maintain the pose.

03

Ashtanga

In a typical Ashtanga yoga class, students follow a specific sequence of postures, known as the “Primary Series,” which consists of standing poses, seated poses, forward bends, backbends, twists, and inversions. The sequence is performed in a flowing and continuous manner, with each movement coordinated with the breath.

Favorite Pose

My favorite pose would have to be supported waterfall! It is truly so helpful after a long day on your feet. If you only have time to practice one pose, I recommend this one!

Favorite Arm Balance

My favorite arm balance would have to be peacock pose. Peacocks represents power, strength, and confidence and this pose allows me to feel incredibly strong yet absolutely beautiful. 

True Yoga is not about the shape of your body but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed. Yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn't care about what you have been. Yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose and for it to be truly called Yoga, its essence must be embodied.
