The different styles of yoga
Hatha Yoga is one of the forms of Yoga named in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. It is a system of physical movements and strength building poses that affect the physical, mental and emotional body. All physical movement practices of yoga, especially when combined with breath, fall under the umbrella of hatha yoga. Different teachers have coined names for the style of practice they have refined (ie. Iyengar, Anusara, Power, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, etc.). Many forms of modern hatha yoga practices, especially those that have influenced the West, can be traced back to Tirumalai Krishnamacharya who tuned into the individual and gave them a practice that would benefit their karma best. Many of those whom he gifted with individual practices took their practices to the world and attached their own name to it. Yoga practice is different from an exercise class because it is an intrinsic practice using the art of mindfulness and breath focus. Mixed Hatha integrates techniques from different classes.
Beginner's Power Yoga is a mindfulness breath practice, using basic and warming asanas. The room is warm which enhances suppleness in the muscles and allows the body to move more freely. The poses are linked by a series of postures called "vinyasa" and combined with rhythmic ujjayi pranayama (breath). There are several similar Hatha Yoga practices following this formula including Ashtanga and Baptiste.
Gentle Hatha Yoga looks at overcoming the limitations of the physical body through a harmonious sequence of poses combined with conscious breathing practices. Emphasis on posture and gentle moment of joints.
Stress Management Yoga is a gentle Hatha Yoga class with restoration and relaxation poses to soothe an overactive nervous system.
Pregnancy Yoga is for 2nd or 3rd trimester women. It is a scientifically designed class to prepare the body for the birth process and nourish a positive experience of pregnancy. During the childbearing process a woman's body is immersed in the creative energies. This class teaches women to trust in the creative process of life. It is important to acknowledge and honour this. This form of Yoga is a well-rounded style of Hatha (asanas, pranayamas, bandhas) Yoga. The focus is on heart centered teaching with emphasis on breath, spinal alignment, development of self awareness & mother’s intuition, and connection with the baby. TESTIMONIAL: “I really enjoyed your classes, and I feel they prepared me for what's ahead more than the official ante-natal classes I attended! You created a lovely atmosphere in every class.“ Zoe H, Prenatal Yoga student.
Restorative Yoga is a slower paced class emphasizing breathing and holding postures. A profoundly relaxing system that seems to reset the nervous system. The effects linger on for days.
CORE integrity is a new class where we explore fascial lines of tension and ease to create a stronger foundation. This mostly floor based yoga series will work with the fascial lines (Thomas Myers - Anatomy Trains, and other inspired research) to create balance in function and more fluidity in movement by working through old injury/habit patterns and increasing strength and stability.
MEDITATION is one of the branches of the yogic tree and the most important for development and expansion of the consciousness, especially in this age of materialism and other distractions. There are many, many kinds of meditation and many techniques. All start with Pratyahara, the withdrawal of the senses and few get beyond this without much effort and practice. However, through simplicity and perseverance we can restructure our internal mechanisms to create a practice that provides stability and balance to our life.
