Gentle yoga is essentially what it sounds like—a gentler style of yoga practice. It is performed at a slower pace, with less intense poses, and usually includes extended time for meditation, yogic breath work, and relaxation. A gentle class usually includes more warm up movements and the yoga postures are often held for longer times. Modifications are done to help people of all fitness levels enjoy the benefits of yoga without putting themselves at risk for injuries. There is a stronger emphasis on stretching, seated poses and low-impact movements in these classes.

Gentle yoga can be practiced by just about anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. It is especially great for people with injuries, pain, mobility or health issues. A gentle yoga practice is a great choice for anyone who is afraid they are not flexible or fit enough to do the yoga poses.

Yang Yin yoga is a practice that balances the slow-paced Yin yoga with the traditional Yang yoga (Ashtanga and Hatha). Yin Yang yoga has its roots in China in the Taoist concepts of yin — a feminine, passive, cooling energy — and yang — a masculine, dynamic, warming energy.  Just as the Taoists believe that yin and yang complement each other and one cannot exist without the other, the Yin Yang yoga practice uses both types of yoga to provide both physical and spiritual balance.

Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the asanas are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement. 

Hot yoga is a form of yoga practiced in hot and humid conditions. 

There are many benefits of a hot yoga class including: 

• Improves flexibility 
• Burns more calories 
• Builds bone density 
• Reduces Stress
• Eases depression
• Provides a cardiovascular boost
• Reduces blood glucose levels
• Nourishes the skin

If you’re nervous to join a group class setting, private yoga can offer you an extra level of comfort and ease. If you want to gain a better understanding of your practice as a new or experienced student, private yoga can give you the opportunity to ask questions while you practice and get personalized feedback. If you simply can’t fit live classes into your schedule but want the live experience, private classes can fill that gap for you. If you’re looking for a private class for a group of friends, for a special occasion, or a team building activity at work, private yoga can be a great way to bring people together.
