Hatha Yoga typically involves a gentle introduction to basic yoga postures for beginners or those who prefer a more relaxed style. It is an old system that includes the practice of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises), which help bring peace to the mind and body, preparing the body for deeper spiritual practices. If you are brand-new to yoga, hatha yoga is a great entry point to the practice.

Ashtanga yoga involves doing multiple surynamaskars followed by standing and floor postures. There are six series of postures that have to be repeated in every class. This kind of yoga is also called Power Yoga and in this style you start with the primary series and then graduate to the next level when you have mastered it.

Vinyasa yoga is also called “flow yoga” or “vinyasa flow. It is a style of yoga where the poses are synchronized with the breath in a continuous rhythmic flow. Vinyasa yoga encourages self-reflection and mindfulness. Our Instructors guide students to be aware of each movement, breath and sensation, and every thought and feeling, to open up a window into who we really are and what we want in life.

Iyengar Yoga is all about bringing the body into its best possible alignment, often using props such as yoga blankets, blocks, and straps to assist students in mastering proper form. Iyengar practices usually emphasize holding poses over longer periods of time instead of moving quickly from one pose to the next as in a Vinayasa flow class.
