Vinyasa Flow is becoming a very popular class. The class promises to make you sweat while you move though the series and feel your body, breath and movement become one. This style of hatha yoga consists of a series of poses that all yoga students can enjoy. The instructor carefully hand-picks the type of music to be used during the class so that the routine has an energizing, gentle, graceful and inspiring flow to it. This class can be challenging for a beginner to yoga but all levels are welcome to attend.

This class is perfect for beginners or yoga practitioners who want to get a better understanding of yoga poses. Whether you are doing hot or non-heated classes, the principles of alignment remains the same. This class will cover poses but we will spend more time on each pose, focusing on the alignment of the hips.
Sometimes we will use the wall, balls, straps and energetic postures to discover how to move your body and find the correct alignment for each pose. |

Yin yoga is a complement to the more active Yang yoga. Both being different dimensions of Hatha yoga. The emphasis is long held deep stretches primarily targeting the connective tissues (which holds bone to bone), tendons, ligaments and deep muscles. Short held poses do not give these areas time to fully stretch out. The majority of the poses are floor poses, with emphasis on the lower back, hips and hamstrings.This a quite meditative class, where poses are held for up to 5 minutes. This Yin class will take you further in your regular yoga practice, improve your athletic performance, increase agility and joint mobility. |
