VINYASA FLOW

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“.

The variable nature of Vinyasa Yoga helps to develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same thing every day.

What are the benefits of Vinyasa yoga?

• Endurance and strength training. Because the challenging poses are done in quick succession, Vinyasa yoga helps build muscle strength while improving your fitness.
• Stability and balance
• Cardio workout
• Lower stress, less anxiety

DYNAMIC YOGA

Dynamic yoga is a lively style of yoga that features fluid movement. It differs to other yoga techniques, because it focuses on body awareness and involves much more dynamic asanas.

The practice also focuses on the union of the mind, body and spirit. It unearths the idea that the spirit and mind can flourish when the body is open. It also assumes that the body reflects our spiritual and mental state at the time of practice.

People who practice and teach dynamic yoga point out a few major benefits. These include:

• Strengthens connective tissues
• Improves breathing
• Quiets the mind
• Alleviates stress
• Realigns the spine

GENTLE FLOW

Gentle flow yoga lies somewhere along the spectrum between flow and a class that is mostly seated or with long holds (such as restorative or yin yoga). It offers nurturing, kindness, and compassion for the body, regardless of whether a student is injured or healthy, young or old, pregnant or not.

What are the benefits of gentle yoga?

• Help to get the body out of stress-mode
• Release tension
• Calm the nervous system
• Gain clearer thinking
• Restore an overall sense of balance to the body, the mind and the soul
