Hatha Yoga tends to be gentle with a series of warm ups leading up to static poses (Asana) which improve flexibility and bodily strength. A Hatha class offers a great body-mind introduction to yoga where you will learn how to stretch, unwind, and release tension. Students also work with the breath (Pranayama) as a preparation for relaxation and meditation.

Yin Yoga works at a deeper level in the body with longer-held passive stretches and poses, aided by different props such as yoga bricks and blankets. It targets the deep connective tissues: the fascia networks and ligaments, joints, and bones. Flexibility and joint mobility improves through fascia release. Yin yoga also reduces stress and anxiety. It is a wonderful restorative and balancing tonic for body and mind.

Restorative Yoga, combined with therapeutic breathwork, helps you slow down, relax and reconnect to yourself for a deeper body/mind opening. Soft fluid movement is combined with deeply held postures, often supported with props such as blankets and blocks. Over time you will notice what you’re sensing in your body; build self-compassion; and begin to experience subtle, yet powerful changes in your life.
