Yoga Styles
Discover the type of yoga styles our retreats focus on
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation. Hatha Yoga is often described as the yoga of balance. It aims to achieve harmony between the body and mind by incorporating various physical postures and breathing techniques. The practice of Hatha Yoga is designed to prepare the body for meditation by cultivating physical strength, flexibility, and balance.
Yoga Nidra
Also known as yogic sleep or conscious relaxation, is a form of guided meditation and deep relaxation that allows the guest to experience a state between wakefulness and sleep. The practitioner lies down in a comfortable position and follows the verbal guidance our session instructor. The practice typically involves a systematic and guided relaxation of different parts of the body.
Vinyasa Yoga
A faster pace yang style that matches the breath with movement. Vinyasa is a relatively modern style of yoga that is derived from Hatha Yoga in which you use pranayama, mindfulness exercises and asanas in your practice. In Vinyasa physical postures (asanas) are put together in a “flow” where you move with fluidity from one posture to another and will include all major categories of yoga poses that are designed to move the body in all directions.
Yin Yoga
A slow relaxing class that focuses on holding poses for a period. Yin yoga is a slow-paced yoga style that focuses on the fascia or connective tissue in the body by holding poses for 2-8 minutes on cold muscles to stretch and engage the connective tissue instead of focusing on the muscle. A yin yoga class is typically made up of 4-7 poses and you use the weight of your body and gravity to open the connective tissue flowing over time with long holds.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a type of yoga used with a lot of props that helps someone get into a relaxing pose without discomfort that is then held for 5-2 minutes. This is a deep, relaxing and opening practice designed to help the body heal during times of distress and utilises props and passive stretching to gently open the body and quiet the mind.
Iyengar Yoga
A type of Hatha yoga that was founded by BKS Iyengar that is strongly rooted in specific alignment principals so one can gain strength, mobility and stability through asana and pranayama. Iyengar yoga has an emphasis on details, precision alignment and encourages the use of props and tools to help find specific Iyengar alignment in the body and will include all of the major categories of yoga poses.
Breathwork & Movement
Breathwork and Movement Yoga generally refers to a type of yoga practice that emphasises the integration of breath awareness with intentional movement. In traditional yoga, the breath (pranayama) and physical postures (asanas) are interconnected, but some specific styles or classes may place a particular focus on this integration.
Pranayama & Mindfulness Meditation - ancient yogic breathing techniques practised first thing in the morning to energise the mind and body, followed by mindfulness meditation.
