Yoga Styles Defined

Yoga Basics
Learn the foundational yoga postures typically practiced in a yoga-asana sequence learning precise alignment. There are 5 different class structures you will learn for Basics. This is a wonderful practice for those new to yoga or for those that are established in their practice & want to refine their alignment. Learn the basics of asana (posture) alignment, breath, intention & relaxation.

Vinyasa Yoga
A vinyasa practice links breath with movement and intention. In this training, you will learn the class structures you will learn for a Beginner Vinyasa sequence. In this practice you will flow through a balanced stream of postures including sun salutations, standing postures, backbends, forward bends, twists, inversions, relaxation and more. These are active practices that encourage focused intention, meditation, relaxation and spiritual growth through asana.

Taoist Yoga, focus on Yin
Based on the Chinese system of yoga, this style is used to enhance the flow of energy or chi through the body combining two approaches of teaching into one practice: one approach is yin – passive and restorative holds and the other approach is yang – active stretching and strengthening using fluid circular movements (as in a Vinyasa practice). This class sequence is created to focus more on Yin Yoga, increasing greater range of motion in the joints and stretching connective tissue.
