Yoga Styles I Teach
Here's a page to explain what I teach and the benefits of each different styles of Yoga Asana Practices. Simple and clear info for people who are new to yoga. Yoga asanas are the physical postures or poses practiced in yoga.
• The word asana means “posture” in Sanskrit and originally referred to seated meditation postures.
• Over time, it came to include all the physical positions in a yoga practice—like Downward Dog, Warrior, or Child’s Pose. Asana based practice is referring to a moving posture practice in which breath and holds or fluid movement is utilized to bring union or harmony to the body and mind of the student enabling the body to sit in meditation.
Today this practice enables one to harmoniously live in their body amongst the demands of family, society, and work. It is easy to say I don't have time, until you really don't have time left and your body is in a state of shut down. Make the time and celebrate the body you have today with asana based practice.
What they do:
Asanas help improve strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness. They also support nervous system regulation, energy flow, and mental focus—especially when combined with breath and intention.
So when people say “we’re doing yoga,” they’re usually referring to practicing a series of asanas.
Choose your Practice: From Stillness to Sweat
1. Hatha Yoga
What it is: A slower-paced, foundational style of yoga that focuses on posture, breath, and alignment. Each pose is held for a few breaths, allowing time to explore form and deepen awareness.
Benefits: Improves strength, balance, and flexibility while promoting mindfulness and stress relief. Great for beginners or anyone wanting a more intentional, grounding practice.
What our class offers: A steady, supportive space to build your practice from the ground up—connecting breath, body, and mind with clarity and calm.

2. Yin Yoga
What it is: A slow, meditative practice where poses are held for 3–5 minutes or longer, mostly on the floor. It targets the deep connective tissues—ligaments, joints, fascia—rather than muscles.
Benefits: Increases flexibility and joint mobility, improves circulation, supports fascia health, and deeply calms the nervous system. It encourages stillness and self-awareness, making it as much a mental practice as a physical one.
What our class offers: A quiet, restorative space to soften, release, and turn inward. It’s perfect for unwinding stress and finding balance in a fast-paced world.

3. Yang Yin Yoga
What it is: A balanced class that starts with active, flowing movement (Yang) to warm up the body and release energy, followed by long-held, grounding stretches (Yin) to settle the nervous system.
Benefits: Builds strength, flexibility, and focus. Helps release tension and supports emotional balance.
What our class offers: A complete mind-body reset—energizing the body and calming the heart in one practice.

4. Hot Yoga
What it is: A dynamic class practiced in a heated room, usually around 35–40°C (95–105°F). The heat helps muscles loosen and allows for deeper stretches.
Benefits: Boosts circulation, improves flexibility, detoxifies through sweat, and builds endurance. The warmth also supports mental focus and emotional release.
What our class offers: A powerful, purifying practice that leaves you feeling strong, clear, and rejuvenated. The heat encourages deeper connection to your breath and body.
