| Hatha Yoga: Hatha Yoga is a branch of Yoga discipline designed to regulate the energy in the body and mind. Sanskrit word meaning “union” (yoga) of the sun (ha) and moon (tha).
Ashtanga Yoga: Ashtanga Yoga practices sequential asana (yogic postures) linked by breath and intention. Ashtanga Yoga is a rigorous style of Hatha Yoga comprised of a set of sequence of poses. It creates an inner heat, suppleness and meditative state of mind through the rhythmic flow that is created through pranayama and asana. This is an alignment-oriented practice.
Vinyasa: An outgrowth of Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga expands on set sequencing. It a vigorous rhythmic flow guided by breath, integrating alignment, strength, balance, flexibility, and deep awareness.
Anusara Yoga: To be in the flow, flowing with Grace, to go with the flow of Divine Love, to followyour heart. Anusara Yoga is heart and intent oriented. It is a unique integration of Hatha Yoga that blends principles of biomechanics and heart opening for the inner and outer body. Based upon three Universal Alignment Principles, it energetically balances the systems of the body towards optimal health.
