Styles of Yoga in the My Yoga Library

By Michelle Trantina • January 5th, 2011 • 16059 Views

We encourage you to choose a level appropriate class, to move at your own pace, and rest whenever necessary. Our platform allows you to do multiple yoga styles in one practice if you wish.

The inner wisdom and mind-body balance you will develop through regular practice will carry with you off the mat. As we reap the rewards of a calmer, stronger self, these benefits extend to our children, spouse, friends and co-workers.

Remember: consistency in your practice is key!  Here's wishing you a thriving and transformative practice.

Hatha Yoga

Inspired by a blend of Hatha yoga traditions, each of our Hatha classes is a unique, eclectic experience. Integrating the teachings of different lineages, our Hatha Yoga practices are generally slower and more gentle, while still giving all the benefits of muscle toning and strength building. These practices are  highly transformational for the mind and central nervous system.  Relax, Rejuvenate, Restore. Excellent for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Anusara Yoga

Ansuara yoga weaves clear, precise principles of alignment with energetic movement,  while honouring the deep connection of body, mind and spirit. Anusara (a-nu-SAR-a) means, "to step into the current of Divine Will", "following your heart", "flowing with Grace".  Anusara yoga is described as heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, yet grounded in a deep knowledge of outer and inner body alignment. Each student’s various abilities and limitations are deeply respected and honoured.

 Restorative Yoga

Bring recuperation to your internal organs, nervous system, and consciousness. Long holds, props and pranayama (breathing techniques) may be used here to allow the breath, body and spirit to unwind.  This is a gentle, calming, therapeutic kind of yoga that uses props to support the body and deepen the benefits of the postures. It is a soothing and nurturing practice that promotes the effects of conscious relaxation.

Vinyasa and Power Yoga

 A dynamic style of yoga which links breath and continual movement through a heat building sequence of postures. These practices combine a series of flowing postures with rhythmic breathing (Ujayi Pranayama) for an intense, transformational body-mind workout. A powerful, cleansing heat builds in the body,  detoxifying and nourishing the muscles and internal organs. Mental focus is enhanced. Strengthen the body while calming the mind.  There are no fixed...
