What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa Yoga is an active and flowing style, where yoga postures, also called Asanas are linked by dynamic movements to each other in a cleverly way – always synchronized with a steady full breath. What most people don't know, this is called Vinyasa Krama. Those cleverly or smart linked postures, the movment and the breath are utilised towards a goal. The goal can be different, depending on the teacher's intention. In general the aim of yoga is to create more space, expansion and freedom for the mind and body that leads to self-realization. Often it's also meant to burn the kleshas, that means (freely translated) to get rid of bad habits, unconscious patterns or restricting emotions, thoughts, concepts or beliefs that are not supporting the flow of your life energy.
What is Tantric Hatha Yoga?
Tantric Hatha in a nutshell (and we could fill many book pages with explaining the philosophical background) is the expansion of life force. This is achieved by the practice of Posture (Asana), Breath (Pranayama) and Meditation (dhyana). Let’s focus on what the actual practice looks like in this style: Tantric Hatha is a combination of first dynamically introduced postures which eventually become steady asanas held in stillness for about 5-8 long breaths. The focus is really strong on the slow and conscious breath and less on the perfect alignment. Thus the postures are in general more easy to follow. In this yoga style there are three main types of Asana practice: Moon, Sun and Fire. Every type has its specific aspects and methods to cultivate different qualities of experience in the body and mind.
What is Yin Yoga?
A very slow yoga practice with only seated and lying down postures that heals and regenerates the body and calms the nervous system. It's a passive practice where muscle tension is released and the focus is on relaxation. Most postures are held for a long time, between 3 and 8 minutes.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a type of guided meditation also known as "yogic sleep" or "effortless relaxation." It is generally practiced while lying back, with a teacher leading the practice session. The practice directs our awareness inward, and we learn to shift between the states of being awake and asleep, where our body finds its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) - the breath becomes balanced and calm, subconscious and conscious facets of the mind reveal themselves, and we fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness.
