Slow Flow
A fusion of Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, but with slower, deeper poses.
Slow Flow Yoga is an intentionally slower-paced class, aimed at helping both new students and those who want to deepen their understanding of yoga. Slow Flows give you plenty of time and space to find your breath as you warm up the body in a gentle way. Slow Flow classes often start with a short meditation (seated or another pose) which provides the space needed to gather up all your attention and to be present with how you're feeling and what you're thinking in the present moment. Slow Flow Yoga is resulting overall into a more focused practice, deeper stretches, and a relaxed mindset in class.
Ashtanga
A set sequence of yoga poses that develops strength and flexibility and improves your overall well-being.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) is a dynamic system which gracefully synchronises breathing and movement. Its objective is to promote a strong flexible body and focused mind. Ashtanga Yoga is the yoga of ashta (eight) anga (limbs), and is the practice of yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and smadhi. This style is a dynamic vinyasa flow that connects the movements of the body with the breath. Ashtanga yoga utilizes a three-fold approach called Tristhana. Tristhana consists of correct breathing (Ujjayi breathing), yoga postures/asanas (including correct use of the bandhas), and the precise gazing (drishti).
Modifications are always offered to allow a well-balanced individual practice.
Yin & Restore
A restorative and meditative practice focusing on deeper tissues of our body.
Yin is a restorative, meditative practice consisting of long held stretches focusing on the deeper tissues of our body; encouraging more flexibility and freedom of movement while releasing deep tension of the body and softening the nervous system. Yin Yoga asks us to enter each pose while leaning into three principles: To take yourself to an appropriate edge, to find stillness there, and to remain in stillness for a period of time. Yin is a practice of introspection, interoception, and reception of the poses, not external observation or performance. Because of this, deep listening to yourself in order to find your version of the pose, one that fits your body, is the main practice itself.
Restorative Yoga supports every aspect of the body in an attempt to relieve tension. In Restorative Yoga, props are essential to fill in the negative space under the body so that it may rest in alignment. While we also practice surrender in Restorative Yoga, it is in part a surrender to the props that are holding and supporting us. This encourages a complete letting go of effort as well as any thoughts and concept of time.
Healing Movements
A practice that links traditional Yoga with innovative Yoga therapy and living Philosophy.
The essence of Yoga is to come in an holistic harmony with yourself. Therefore yoga IS therapy. But with some specific techniques you can enhance the healing powers even more. This class combines theory and practice - valuable tips for your alignment, therapeutic sequences and meditative aspects combined to create a holistic picture and yoga practice.
