Styles of Practice
1
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa is a method of yoga in which movements form a flowing sequence in coordination with the breath. This style can be practiced slow and gently or vigorously, depending on the needs and level of the student. This style is recommended to break through mental and physical stagnation, build strength, and encourage both physical and mental discipline. A balance of strength and grace, or effort and ease.
2
Yin Yoga
The name 'Yin' yoga comes from Yin/Yang philosophy which draws attention to the balance between opposing forces. More energetic styles of yoga like vinyasa yoga would be considered 'yang' while yin yoga postures are meant to balance these energetic practices with calm, deep stretches.
3
Ayurvedic Yoga
Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga. Ayurveda provides a natural, elemental lens of viewing reality which can really inform the approach and quality applied to your yoga practice, based on the time of day, time of year, or stage of life of the student. Ayurvedic yoga, in particular, represents the great intersection of these two ancient sciences of life.
