What is Yoga?
Yoga (YOH-gah) is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning "to yoke or join together." This union is of body, mind and spirit. Yoga uses practices such as asana (the body), pranayama (the breath), and meditation to achieve this union. Yoga is the oldest known system of personal development in the world dating back over 5,000 years.

What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa is a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement.” In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance.

What is Hatha Yoga?
The word hatha means forceful. Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises, designed to bring balance to the body-mind. Hatha is also translated as ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon." This refers to the balance of masculine aspects–active, hot, sun - and feminine aspects-receptive, cool, moon - within all of us. Hatha yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In our physical bodies we develop a balance of strength and flexibility. We also learn to balance our effort and surrender in each pose. For brand new to advanced students.
