Yoga is defined as “yoke” or join together.
Joining the mind, body, and spirit through the stillness of the consciousness.
The types of yoga we offer:
Flow (Vinyasa) and Restorative (Hatha)
Hatha and Vinyasa can be broken down to understand the yoga practices a little better.
Hatha
“Ha” or sun (right)
“Tha” or moon (left)
representing the sides of the body
Focusing on the breath while holding poses to maintain a steady breathe
Vinyasa
"vi" (special way)
"nyasa" (to place),
meaning to arrange or place something in a particular manner
Focusing on the movement of the body while matching breath with movement
The Yoga Sutras explain in further detail the steps of yoga and what yoga is.
