YOGA STYLES
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic yoga style that has its roots in Shri K. Patthabi Jois' Indian Ashtanga Vinyasa system and was further developed in the 1980s. Vinyasa Yoga is challenging, aesthetic and moving. This style of yoga strengthens and revitalizes the body. Mental clarity sets in and general well-being is sought at every level.
Yin yoga
Yin Yoga is a passive and restorative style of yoga developed by Paul Grilley. It consists mainly of asanas that are practiced on the floor and held for a long time. The body is stretched into the fascia (connective tissue), deep-seated tension is released and mobility is increased.
