While there are many different types of yoga, each with unique benefits, YOGAJUKU borrows elements from the following types in order to offer a variety of classes with different goals for all levels of ability.
Power Vinyasa Yoga· wonderful for strengthening the body.
This style of yoga is usually rather fast paced and intense as it synchronizes breath and movement to increase core strength, muscular flexibility and blood circulation. Poses are strung together into cycles in a smooth way to cultivate body awareness and balance. Breathe, sweat and go with the flow!
Slow Vinyasa and Yin style · great for joint flexibility and mobility.
Slow Yoga is a modified of Power Vinyasa Yoga. It’s a gentle, nice and slow basic sequence. Yin yoga focuses mainly on the hips, pelvis, knees and lower back in order to increase joint range of motion, increase body awareness and learn to just let go. Through holding poses for longer periods of time connective tissue is stretched while chronic held tension is released. Relax and renew with this more passive style of yoga.
