Yoga
Hatha Yoga
Perhaps the path of Yoga most will be familiar with, since this is the most popular branch of Yoga in the West. This branch of Yoga uses physical poses (Asana), Breathing Techniques ( Pranayama), and Meditation to achieve better health, as well as spirituality. There are many styles within this path - Iyengar, Integral, Scaravelli, Astanga, Kripalu, and Jivamukti to name but a few.
If what you want is a peaceful mind and a healthy body to go along with it, Hatha Yoga may just be the path for you.

Sun salutations/Vinyasas are practiced between each sequence of postures throughout the entire standing and floor series. This class will transform you on all levels, physically, mentally and spiritually.
This class is also practiced in the heat as a 'Hot Vinyasa Flow'. Be prepared to sweat, tone your entire body and clear your mind.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other schools of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (the yang tissues). Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice.
Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
