Yoga styles

Now that you decided to step onto the mat, the moment has come to decide which style resonates best with you in this very moment. We learn by trying and preferences of practice can change over time. Mix and match depending on what feels right for you.

    Vinyasa is a type of yoga that links movement and breath to attain balance in the mind and body. From the Sanskrit “to place in a special way”, it aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. Inhalation is usually connected to upward, open movements, while exhalation is often tied to downward movements or twists.

    Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically 3-5 min.) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement.

    * Yin is less suitable for women in their 3rd trimester or mothers who recently gave birth. Everyone has their own unique anatomy and additional knowledge of their body. When in doubt it is always advisable to consult your physician before stepping on the mat.

  • accessible for all levels

    Restorative yoga is known for its relaxing, calming and healing effect. It has its roots in the yoga of B.K.S. Iyengar, who developed a yoga that allows students to practice without any strain or pain. This was developed into a whole style of yoga which was considered ideal for those recovering from injuries or illnesses and to balance out the hectic modern lifestyles.

    Yoga nidra, a Sanskrit term meaning "yogic sleep" is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation, a state between sleeping and waking. The body is completely relaxed and the practitioner turns the awareness inward by listening to a set of instructions; much like a guided meditation. Performing yoga nidra involves practicing pratyahara ("withdrawal of the senses"). The practice results in deep relaxation and expands the individual's self-awareness.
