The most popular styles of yoga in the West today derive from Hatha Yoga, including (but not limited to) Bikram, Iyengar, Jivamukti, and Ashtanga or Vinyasa.

​

This is one of the most referred to terms in regards to yoga, and actually includes to any type of yoga that involve physical postures (or asana).

​

Because of this, the majority of the classes taught in western society fall under the Hatha umbrella, but an offering labelled Hatha Yoga usually indicates a slower paced, more gentle style of class.

​

BENEFITS:

​

WHAT TO EXPECT:
