Vinyasa Flow

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga where poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence.  The beauty of vinyasa yoga is the variety.

The term vinyasa refers to alignment of movement with the breath.  The steady cycle of inhales and exhales provides you with a calming, mental focal point.  The continual movement from one pose to another, gives you an added cardiovascular benefit creating internal heat.

Power Yoga

Power or dynamic yoga is focused on building strength and endurance in a similar style to vinyasa yoga.  Because of the dynamic nature of the practice, the muscles warm up quickly and the poses create muscle tone, which helps to develop strength and stability in the body.

Expect to build heat, increase stamina, strength and flexibility.

Mandala Yoga

Mandala, meaning  complete or circle in Sanskrit is a practice that will take you all around the four corners of your mat.  

This circular manner of moving, representing the cycles of life, will move you through seamless transitions, allowing you to experience a form of moving meditation.

When moving through a mandala sequence you are able to experience your body so much more intimately and intuitively in the creative transitions.

Beginners Yoga

Whether you have never tried yoga or wanting to learn how to practice safely with the correct alignment, it is always good to start in a beginners class.

Understanding how to execute the poses, as well as why we do them, will help you to build confidence, gain focus, feel balanced and calm.

Adopting a beginner's mindset can open the doors to a world of possibility!

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a quiet contemplative practice,

working deeply into the body with passive longer holds.

It targets the deepest tissues in the body; our connective tissues - ligaments, joints, bones the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians.

What to expect: a yin yoga class consists of a series of long held passive floor poses which are held safely for up to 5 minutes.

Benefits: releases fascia, encourages deeper relaxation, calms and balances the body and mind, increases circulation, improves flexibility and joint mobility, reduces stress and anxiety.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep is an immensely powerful meditation.  As you rest in Savasana you will be guided to a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping.  This practice enables you to restore the body, senses and mind to its natural function. This will awaken a seventh sense, that will allow you to see wholeness, tranquility and well-being. 

Yoga Nidra promotes deep rest and relaxation that isn’t found in your average meditation practice. The practice draws our attention inwards and we learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where our body finds its natural state of equilibrium.
