Specialties
We offer both Hot Yoga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga which use the body and mind to study the self while practicing, and alleviate the impact of daily stress. Hot Yoga is a sequence of poses and breathing exercises from Hatha Yoga, developed by Bikram Choudury. The sequence, scientifically designed, makes possible for all the internal organs, veins, ligaments and muscles to maintain optimum health and maximum function. Practiced Worldwide, Bikram Yoga has proved to systematically work every part of the body. Each posture takes care of a different aspect of the body and in their sequence, the postures work synergistically. Meaning each posture contributes to the success of every other, extending and maximizing the benefits of all. Through regular practice of Hot Yoga you will be able to change the construction of the body from inside out. To change your body, you need to warm and soften your body so it flexible and malleable. Regular practice of the Sequence leads to development of balanced healthy body and a balanced stress-free mind. You will also improve concentration, clarity of thinking, and confidence. Vinyasa Flow Yoga is practiced in a comforting warm room and greatly compliments Hot Yoga and vice versa. Each Vinyasa class is different; the sequences vary and challenge the habitual manner of practicing asanas. Practitioners develop inner awareness and understanding of the poses beyond the movement of the physical body with respect to asana's techniques and outline.
