What we Teach:

Power Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa-style yoga combines a series of flowing postures with rhythmic breathing for an intense body-mind workout. In Vinyasa classes postures are linked together in a continuous and challenging flow and the common thread is a rigorous workout that develops strength and flexibility while keeping students on the move. Classes focus on proper alignment, easeful posture transitions, and controlled breathing exercises (pranayama) to facilitate an exploration into the inner dimensions of yoga and self-awareness.

Hatha Beginner
Hatha (sun and moon) yoga is umbrella term that includes all styles of yoga that focus on the postures (asana) as the main emphasis of the class. This includes: Iyengar, Power yoga, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Bikram, etc. Usually, however, when a yoga class is advertised as Hatha yoga, it will be a slower style of asana class, which is good for beginning students. Postures (especially standing postures) are typically held much longer than in other schools of yoga, so that practitioners can pay close attention to the precise muscular and skeletal alignment this system demands.

Ashtanga Primary Series
The practice of Asthanga Primary Series that’s getting mainstream attention today is a dynamic, fast-paced series of sequential postures practiced by yoga master K. Pattabhi Jois. Each pose is linked to the next through a series of connecting movements called vinyasa, allowing the body to create heat and leading to more flexibility. Smooth, deep breathing (ujjayi) is synchronized with the movements. This powerful and vigorous practice purifies and realigns the body, cultivating a feeling of inner peace, and leading to a natural state of meditation.
Health benefits: Increases blood circulation, helps purify internal organs, removes toxins from the body through sweat glands, and strengthens the cardiovascular system.
