​

Have you ever attended a yoga class and felt like you didn’t know what was going on? Was it moving too fast? Were you afraid to ask questions? Find out below how we have structured learning to fit this need!

 

To really break things down and create a solid foundation to explore yoga further,  students will attend workshops in either Hatha or Vinyasa to move forward to the classes. Students also have the option to demonstrate their knowledge before moving forward. 

 

Hatha Yoga refers to the balancing of our receptive (Ida) and active (Pingala) energies. This balance is achieved through slow-flowing movement, well-aligned postures, breath work, intentional core engagement, and meditation.

 

Hatha Classes incorporate the knowledge and experience gained in the workshop and readying students for the class environment. Students will require less one-on-one assistance and possess the knowledge of breathing in full synchronization as their body moves through Sun salutations and a full hatha practice.  

 

Vinyasa Yoga stands in opposition to hatha yoga. Hatha yoga focuses on one pose at a time with a rest inbetween. In contrast, vinyasa yoga strings together poses, creating an ever-moving and flowing  sequence. In vinyasa yoga, each movement is synchronized with the breath. 

 

Vinyasa Classes are designed for less one-on-one instruction and for more practical application as you are guided by the instructor.
