Styles
What type of yoga should I practise?
Yoga is not just the one thing.
When you enter Yoga into your search bar, Google will spit out over 1 billion results within less than a second. What does that mean? Yoga is popular. It also means that there’s an almost infinite amount of information out there. And the number of yoga styles that have developed up until now isn’t too shabby either.
So let’s break down the different styles you can pick choose from in my schedule.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word that translates to something along the lines of to place something in a special or thoughtful way. We often interpret it as movement synchronised to our breath.
My vinyasa classes are very much inspired by my daily practice (which is Rocket yoga). The flows are usually quite strong, fun and challenging, sometimes fast paced, sometimes slower and strengthening. I always offer a Spotify playlist to go with them, but it’s my students’ choice to play it in the background or focus solely on the flow.
Slow Flow
In my slow flow classes, which I tend to teach at lunch time, you’ll get the chance to build strength with longer holds and more conscious muscle activation or you can choose to use the modifications and make it a more gentle flow that helps you focus and recharge for the rest of the day.
Yin
In contrast to popular opinion I’d say Yin is one of the more challenging practices - for the mind. Finding an edge between uncomfortable and bearable (never painful), you will stay in a pose for a few minutes, timed by yours truly. Your muscles will slowly relax and with that, your mind will start to wander. Can you stand the test and be mindful?
