Vinyasa is a dynamic yoga practice and the sequences are different from class to class. Emphasis is placed on coherence and energy in each individual fluid exercise as well as the function of the breath in each and every movement. Vinyasa is an effective way to build physical strength, improve heart and lung function, and create the peace of mind that a busy everyday life gives us all a need for.

Hatha yoga might be the most original type of physical yoga asana practice that we know of. It is described as early as 1500 in the book Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Yogi Swatmarama. Hatha can be interpreted as working towards balance, and the acceptance of the need for opposites. In Hatha yoga you work separately on each classic yoga pose, finding calm and balance as you work the body, preparing for meditation.

Yin Yoga is a slow paced practice, where the poses are held for longer periods of times. Yin targets the connective tissue, fascia and tendons and works on a deeper physical level. Yin yoga works on cooling the system down, stretching into areas that are difficult to get to, requiring time, patience and determination. Through the stillness and slow movements, space and freedom is created within the body – and essentially the mind.

Astanga has its roots in the 8 steps of the Yoga Sutras, and has been taught and described by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois or as he respectfully was called; Guruji. The practice of Astanga yoga is physically demanding, working gradually through different sequences of Asanas of increasing complexity. The practitioner starts out with the Primary Series and after getting skilled in it moves forward to the next level. Astanga works strongly on focus, concentration and balance, with the goal of obtaining a calm mind and relaxed body.
