HATHA
Hatha yoga is a refers to any type of yoga that teaches physical postures. Nearly every type of yoga class taught in the West is hatha yoga. This is a great introduction class to basic yoga poses. You probably won’t work up a sweat in a hatha yoga class, but you should end up leaving class feeling longer, looser, and definatley more relaxed.
Restorative
Restorative yoga is a great way to relax and soothe frayed nerves. Restorative classes use bolsters, blankets, and blocks to prop students in passive poses so the body can experience the many benefits of a pose without having to exert any effort. A good restorative class can be more rejuvenating than a nap. These is a great class to take at the end of a long day.
VINYASA
Vinyasa (pronounced “vin-yah-sah”) is a Sanskrit word for a phrase that roughly translates as “to place in a special way,” referring in hatha yoga to a sequence of poses. Vinyasa classes are known for their fluid, movement-intensive practices. Vinyasa instructors choreograph their classes to smoothly transition from pose to pose, and will often play music to keep things lively.
Aerial Yoga
Aerial Yoga is a mix between aerials and Yoga, all body parts are forced to move and stretch. Students hang from a hammock as the instructor takes them through a series of stretches. Aerial yoga helps you to move more freely, with less effort, by counteracting gravity. Suspension in the air releases tension on the bones and muscles, increasing flexibility and deepening your practice.
