Vinyasa is the more dynamic practice, based loosely on the teachings of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois, Vinyasa takes some of the poses from the Primary Series but also includes balances and pranayama. It is a great class for those looking for a challenge. While balancing strength and flexibility develop a concentrated clear and focused mind.
Yin yoga is a slow, deliberate and meditative class, which focuses on lengthening the body’s deep connective tissue, while using minimal muscle engagement and breath control. Each posture is held for extended periods to encourage a deep release. This Taoist Yoga practice helps to open the body's energy pathways, particularly though the hips, pelvis and lower spine. It is also very useful for bring the mind to stillness. This is an all seated relaxation practice.
