Find your flow

Hatha

A traditional style of yoga where poses are held for longer duration. It builds strength, endurance and flexibility.

How to practice:

Hatha yoga classes are best for beginners since they are usually paced slower than other yoga styles. Hatha classes today are a classic approach to breathing and exercises. If you are brand-new to yoga, hatha yoga is a great entry point to the practice.

Vinyasa

A faster-paced yoga style that is more energetic in nature. Poses are held for shorter duration, and more poses are done per class.

How to practice:

In vinyasa classes, movements are coordinated with your breath in order to flow from one pose to another. Vinyasa styles can vary depending on the teacher, and there can be many types of poses in different sequences. I personally teach an alignment-based style of vinyasa and choreograph new flows every time, but I also like to hold some of the poses a bit longer after warming up.

Chair Yoga

The most gentle form of yoga more suitable for people with mobility issues. Poses are modified using a chair for support and balance. In chair yoga, your poses are adapted to your unique individual needs and abilities.

How to practice:

Chair yoga is recommended for seniors, people recovering from injuries, and people requiring specific accommodations. Classes are focused on encouraging movement, balanced breathing, and building strength and flexibility.

Mobility & Balance

Improves joint flexibility, soft tissue elasticity, and functional movement for daily life or athletic performance.

Develops stability, proprioception, and control, often using standing postures and transitions.

How to practice:

Dynamic flows, active stretching, controlled joint rotations, gentle vinyasa, and targeted mobility drills (e.g. CARs: Controlled Articular Rotations).

Tree Pose, Warrior III, Half Moon, Eagle Pose, standing balances, balance flows, and sometimes props (blocks, straps) for support.

Yang & Yin

Yang & Yin is also known as a “restorative” yoga style. During the first half of the class we’ll perform strength poses held for long durations, and the second half will be a deep stretch relaxation which balances your energy.

How to practice:

Yang & Yin is a great class for beginners, as postures can be held anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. The classes are relaxed, as you're supposed to let gravity do most of the work.

Prenatal

Prenatal yoga helps a student adjust to the rapid changes that happen during pregnancy. How? By strengthening and stretching supportive muscles to accommodate rapid weight gain. The use of standing balance poses helps expectant parents adjust to changes in their center of gravity

How to practice:

Prenatal yoga focuses on building endurance and increasing lung capacity with breath work and poses that can be used to make the birthing process easier. Relaxing techniques are used to help relieve stress and build a bond with the baby in the womb.
