Happy Sun Yoga

 

All the yoga styles and pilates fusion classes are suitable for all student levels. Please advise your teacher if you are a beginner so that you can receive extra guidance.

Akhanda Hatha Yoga

Akhanda means indivisible, entire and whole. The class will include a balance of yin and yang postures, pranayama, relaxation, and meditation. Students are encouraged to explore their own breath, body, and experience within a range of safe motion, and to find joy in movement as they develop their strength, flexibility, determination, balance, coordination, concentration, and confidence.

Dynamic Yoga

Dynamic Yoga is a vigorous type of vinyasa yoga. It is a flowing meditative class harmonizing breath with movement and cultivating strength, agility and flexibility. It works the entire body, with an emphasis on the core. It is suitable for beginners and regular students seeking for a faster paced class. It´s a strong class that helps to build strength, stamina and flexibility and improves concentration and breathing capacity.

Flow with Grace

In this class we apply the Universal Principals of Alignment of Anusara Yoga. Every class is set around a theme and  usually begins with mantra chanting. Students are guided to coordinate their movements and actions with their breath.  We move through a variety of asanas (poses) including vinyasas. These classes are heart-oriented as we move from the inside out.

Hatha Flow

Expect a dynamic class with a flowing series of postures with emphasis on alignment, coordinated with the breath, to build strength and increase flexibility, self-awareness and ending in deep relaxation to integrate the practice. These classes often include some
pranayama exercises.

Hatha Sivananda 

This class starts with breathing exercises (pranayama) to tune inward before working with the physical body. This is followed by sun salutations to warm up the body and awaken vital energy, and 12 core postures and their variations. Between each posture, the student relaxes for a short time which allows for the vital energy to be reabsorbed. A longer guided relaxation is also done at the end and allows for an overall sense of harmony and well-being.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is not a specific type of yoga, but is rather a basis of all the asana yoga systems such as Anusara, Vinyasa and Dyanamic Yoga. The Sanskrit word Hatha has come to be used in describing a more classic approach, a one-pose-at-a-time style class, with focus on alignment, anatomy, body mechanics, and mindfulness.

In our Hatha classes, expect an emphasis on simplicity, repetition, and ease, a pursuit of effortlessness even as we work out the body’s kinks. Relaxation is paramount as we make a full circuit of the body’s range of motion with standing postures, twists, backbends, forward folds, and hip openers.

Karma Yoga

Pilates Balance 

This class will challenge your balance, strength, coordination and flexibility. You will learn how to strengthen the core stabilizing system through key alignment and posture work and how the breath is the bridge to better functional movement. The key is to harmonize the body from the inside out. You will also be shown some simple 'manage and maintain' exercises to take home and keep you free of back pain and energized throughout the day.

Vinyasa

This is an active yoga practice incorporating sun salutations and ujjayi (victorious) breathing, linking continuous movement with breath. Expect movement, not just stretching. This class is a fusion between flowing with the breath and gentle holds.
May include back bends and/or inversions.
