VINYASA WITH RELAXATION
“Vinyasa” means linking breath with movement. Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath. Commonly referred to as “flow” yoga, it is sometimes confused with “power yoga “. Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike. Each class ends with relaxation.

HATHA
Hatha yoga is the branch of yoga that typically comes to mind when you think of yoga in general terms. The practice involves breath, body, and mind. This hour-long class focusses on breathing, yoga poses, and relaxation.
GENTLE
Like other styles of yoga, gentle yoga relieves stress, increases flexibility, calms the mind, and strengthens the body. Gentle yoga, in particular, can be relaxing and help enhance range of motion.
