Dynamic
These classes involve using flowing sun salutations to transition into postures. Matching your breath to your movements, you’ll be able to flow fluidly from one posture to the next. You'll find yourself getting comfortable flowing from one posture to the next and create your own beautiful expression in class. Beginner to advanced students are welcome, as modifications are always given so you can engage in your best practice. The classes typically use advanced postures, binds and give a cardio blasts that will get the heart rate pumping providing a rigorous, hot and sweaty class! Beginner to advanced students welcome, but we suggest you attend at least one Hatha class prior to attending.
Ashtanga.
Based on ancient yoga teachings, but it was popularised and brought to the West by K. Pattabhi Jois (pronounced "pah-tah-bee joyce") in the 1970s. It's a rigorous style of yoga that follows a specific sequence of postures and is similar to vinyasa yoga, as each style links every movement to a breath. The difference is that Ashtanga always performs the exact same poses in the exact same order. This is a sweaty, physically demanding practice, so you may need to bring a mat towel.
Rocket.
As the name might suggest, is a fast-style yoga and comes from the traditional Ashtanga series, but was modified for the west by a man called Larry Schultz in San Francisco. While Schultz was on tour teaching yoga to American rock band "The Grateful Dead," one member, Bob Weir, suggested he name his yoga style "Rocket, because it gets you there faster" — and it stuck. Rocket yoga is the result of Larry Schultz' attempt to make Ashtanga yoga more accessible to westerners, by breaking down the rigidity of the classic practice. It’s about having fun, it’s about leaving your inhibitions at the door, it’s about coming onto your mat with a light heart (and sometimes leaving with a light head!). ‘There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky, and you ask “what if I fall?” Oh but my darling, what if you fly?’
Power.
Incorporating the athleticism of Ashtanga, including lots of vinyasas (series of poses done in sequence) but gives each teacher the flexibility to teach any poses in any order, making every class different. With its emphasis on strength and flexibility, power yoga brought yoga into the gyms all across the World.
Vinyasa Flow.
Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word for a phrase that roughly translates as "to place in a special way", referring to the way a class flows through a sequence of poses. Known for their fluid, movement-intensive practices, the sequence smoothly transitions from pose to pose, with the intention of linking breath to movement, keeping things lively. The intensity of the practice is similar to Ashtanga, but no two vinyasa classes are the same. If you hate routine and love to test your physical limits, vinyasa may be just your ticket.
Hot Yoga.
THIS CLASS HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO CURRENT ENERGY CRISIS
Sweat like never before as you work your way through a series of poses while the studio is heated to 37 degrees. Due to the heated conditions of the studio, don't forget to bring a water bottle and a towel.
