Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is characterized by holding a pose for an extended period of time. The intent of this style of yoga is to target the joints, ligaments, and fascia in the body to promote flexibility and hydration of the tissues.
Vinyasa Yoga
In Vinyasa yoga (also called vinyasa flow or flow yoga), strong emphasis is placed on using the breath to support movement as practitioners "flow" through a series of poses. While the options for pacing, intensity, and depth are endless in this style of class, breath awareness and mind-body connection are a consistent theme.
Pranayama
“If you can breathe, you can do yoga.”
Pranayama is the practice of conscious, controlled breathing that expands the life force or energy (prana) that exists within each of us. Though often underused and underrated in our day-to-day, the simple act of breathing is an incredibly powerful tool and is available to us at any given moment. Subtle, intentional adjustments to the breath have a direct influence on the nervous system, which promotes balance in the body and mind. Working with the breath opens the door to enhanced awareness and allows practitioners to become fully present for each moment.
Restorative
Similar to Yin yoga, poses in a Restorative classes are held for longer. Whereas Yin stresses the tissues in an intentional way, Restorative seeks to promote relaxation by moving the nervous system toward a "rest and digest" state. This is accomplished by using an ample amount of props to support the body in a way that the practitioner is able to sink into each pose.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is the ancient practice and art of yogic sleep. Students are guided through an extensive body scan followed by visualization, which leads to deep relaxation. While the body physically sleeps, the mind remains aware in a state of consciousness known as Yoga Nidra. Within this state, ultimate rejuvenation resides with the invitation to connect to the world within and to expand awareness. Practicing Yoga Nidra offers many benefits including stress reduction, balancing the nervous system, improvement of bodily functions, pain management, improved well-being and mood, among others.
Completed entirely lying down or in a reclined position with the aid of blankets and props to comfort and support the body, this practice is accessible for all individuals.
