Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes health and well being. Regular practice will help you learn poses, correct posture and positioning, and improve your breathing and outlook on life.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is the opposite to vinyasa or dynamic 'yang' styles of yoga. It involves finding stillness in postures for several minutes at a time and being passive, relaxing the muscles so that there can be a beneficial hydrating stress to the connective tissue. Although it can be challenging in its own way it is also a calming and mediative posture in addition to being very good for releasing fascia and joint stiffness. We often use lots of props in this class.
Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by a variable sequence of postures with a flow from one posture to another, seamlessly, syncronising with breath. There is a repetition of postures sequenced in the pratice for builiding strength as well as flexibilty.
As a philosophy, Vinyasa recognizes the temporary nature of things. We enter into a posture, are there for a while and then leave.
While Vinyasa, or Vinyasa-Krama, dates back to the Vedic age—the earliest period of yoga thousands of years ago—it referred to a series, or sequence of steps, to make something sacred.
The movement practice of Vinyasa is said to begin with T Krishnamacharya who has had the largest influence on how yoga, in general, is practiced today.
Vinyasa is a breath initiated practice, that connects every action of our life with the intention of moving towards what is sacred, or most important to us.
Yoga classes are great way to improve your endurance in other physical activities. After a run, or heavy workout, yoga will help your body relax while stretching, strengthening, and lengthening the muscles you were just working on.
Yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and meditation. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself and get clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is key to staying in tune with your mind and body.
