Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is a gentle and fundamental practice that emphasizes breath control (pranayama), postures (asanas), and mindfulness. It is ideal for beginners and those seeking a slower, more meditative approach to yoga.

• Improves flexibility and strength

• Develops body awareness

• Promotes relaxation and stress management

 

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic and fluid practice where movements are synchronized with the breath. This style is more energetic and creative, focusing on harmonious transitions between postures.

• Builds endurance and flexibility

• Stimulates circulation and detoxification

• Enhances concentration and breath control

 

Therapeutic Yoga

Recognizing that each individual's health journey is unique, Therapeutic Yoga offers a personalized and compassionate practice specifically tailored to address your needs, whether you are managing a specific ailment or pathological condition, or seeking support for physical, emotional, or energetic imbalances. Through gentle movements, breath awareness, sound therapy, and mindfulness, we work together to facilitate targeted healing and enhance your overall well-being.

• Supports nervous system regulation

• Aids in recovery after stress or trauma

• Relieves chronic pain and improves posture

 

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing and passive practice that involves holding supported postures for longer periods, often using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks. The aim is to gently open the body and calm the nervous system, promoting profound relaxation and stress reduction. It encourages the body to release tension and move towards a state of balance with minimal muscular effort.

• Deeply calms the nervous system

• Reduces stress and anxiety

• Promotes relaxation and rejuvenation

• Enhances the body's natural healing abilities

 

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style with long-held passive poses that primarily target the deeper connective tissues – fascia, joints, and ligaments. By holding poses for several minutes, Yin yoga encourages a gentle and gradual opening of these tissues, increasing flexibility and improving the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body. It also cultivates patience, introspection, and a deeper awareness of sensations.

• Increases flexibility and range of motion in the joints

• Nourishes connective tissues and fascia

• Calms the mind and emotions

• Cultivates patience and inner awareness

 

Sound Yoga

Sound Yoga is a holistic practice that blends the physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and mindful movement of traditional yoga with the therapeutic vibrations of sound. It integrates various sound healing modalities to deepen the yoga experience, promote relaxation, and facilitate healing on physical, mental, and emotional levels.

• Integration of Sound: Sound Yoga incorporates instruments like singing bowls (crystal and metal), gongs, tuning forks, chimes, and even the human voice (through chanting or mantra) into the yoga practice.

• Vibrational Resonance: The core principle is that sound vibrations resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras) and can help to restore balance and harmony within. Stress, tension, and illness can disrupt these natural vibrations, and sound can help to realign them.

• Enhanced Relaxation: The soothing and resonant tones produced in Sound Yoga can induce a deep state of relaxation, calming the nervous system and reducing stress and anxiety. This can enhance the meditative aspects of yoga.

• Deepened Awareness: The sounds can help to draw focus inward, promoting greater body awareness and a deeper connection to the present moment during the yoga practice.

• Emotional Release: Sound vibrations are believed to help release emotional blockages and promote a sense of inner peace and well-being.

• Therapeutic Benefits: Depending on the specific sounds and instruments used, Sound Yoga can offer various therapeutic benefits, such as pain reduction, improved sleep, enhanced focus, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

• Varied Approaches: Sound Yoga can be integrated into different styles of yoga. For example:

  • Sound Baths during Restorative Yoga: Instruments are played while participants rest in supported poses, amplifying the relaxation.

  • Sound Integration during Vinyasa: Specific sounds or music might accompany the flow of movement.

  • Chanting and Mantra: Vocalizations are used as a form of sound healing and to focus the mind.

  • Individualized Sound Therapy: Tuning forks or singing bowls might be used directly on or around the body in specific yoga postures.
