Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Yoga is a free flowing style of yoga, what does this mean exactly? While each teacher will bring a slightly different style of vinyasa to the class, it generally means we will practice linking our breathe with the movement of our body as we move through our yoga poses with seamless transition and conscious awareness. This practice is focused towards generating internal heat, energy and challenging ourselves physically and mentally.
In a Vinyasa class you can expect to challenge yourself with standing postures, balance poses and twists. You’ll be given options for backbends, inversions and core work and cooled down with hip openers and forward bends. You’ll enjoy a luscious Savasana before heading out into the world relaxed and energized!

Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is the mother of all yoga, all other styles of yoga stem from the traditional practice of Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga is traditionally a set of physical poses and sequences designed to prepare the mind and body and nervous system for meditation. By practicing Hatha yoga we are slowly working with the physical body to allow seated meditation more comfortable, we are working with the mind to make mental stillness and clarity more attainable and we are working with the energetic channels of the body to remove blockages and allow energy to flow freely.
A Hatha Yoga class will include some type of breathing exercise (pranayama), a number of standing, sitting and lying postures and stretches and a short final meditation. You should end the class feeling longer, looser and more relaxed.
Our hatha yoga classes are open to all levels.
