Ashtanga yoga
Ashtanga yoga literally means "eight-limbed yoga," as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali it consists of the following eight spiritual practices: Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-purification and study), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense control), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (contemplation). It is a vigorous practice that boosts one’s flexibility, strength, concentration and energy. While practicing Ashtanga one moves rapidly through a group of poses in a continuous sequence keeping focused on their breathing at the same time. Ashtanga is a stimulating practice that increases the strength and stamina of the body and expands the lungs. Practicing Ashtanga yoga energizes and models the body, and strengthens one’s weakest muscles. This practice raises a sense of deep inner warmth and leads to a relaxed meditative state. If you like the classical Hatha yoga or the Vinyasa flow, Ashtanga will give you a deeper and more intense experience.

Vinyasa flow
Literally translated, ‘vinyasa’ means ‘to arrange’ or ‘to place in a special way’. It also means “breath-synchronized movement.” In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next while inhaling or exhaling. The flowing movements resemble a dance. This is a dynamic and vigorous but smooth practice, which is suitable for people with active lifestyles. Vinyasa consists of series of poses that lay the emphasis on strength and flexibility while working for a focused and relaxed mind.

Hatha yoga
The classical Hatha yoga is one of the most popular yoga practices, which focuses on mental and physical health. The word Hatha comes from combining the two Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning sun and "tha" meaning moon. Thus hatha unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. Hatha yoga consists of more than 200 positions of the body (asanas) and their variations, breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation techniques, which make the spine flexible, improve the blood circulation of the whole body, cater for the proper posture of the body and enhance its balance and flexibility. This low- to moderate-intensity yoga practice ensures muscular tone and lucid thought.

Rise&Shine
Rise&Shine is a morning practice, which begins with easy positions and stretching at a progressively increasing pace. Rise&Shine gives you a pleasant start of the day and gradually awakens your body and senses. This practice includes poses for the correct alignment and flexibility of the body and breathing and relaxation techniques. It is very suitable for people with active lifestyles, who can do it before work, as well as for people who enjoy morning activities.

Open&Restorative
Open&Restorative is intended to relieve the stress and fatigue and works on the joints and the external systems of the body. This type of yoga is a more moderate, energizing, healing and uplifting practice. Usually done in the evening, it begins with a more dynamic stage and then gently proceeds to relaxing poses on the ground in order to reach a state of full relaxation. Various props (cubes, belts, pillows, blankets, aromas, and candles) are used in this practice. Slow, deep breathing is recommended. Regular practice brings about the ability to rapidly enter a state of relaxation, of inner awareness, or tapping into new strength after a long day.

Prenatal yoga
No matter whether you have practiced yoga before or not, even the easiest poses can keep you fit and in good mood, and you can benefit from the relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation throughout the whole process – from conceiving to giving birth and even afterwards. Pregnancy yoga will help you face the changes to come, live in the present and accept things as they are. Not only does this practice ease the process of giving birth but it also gives you the strength and energy to cope with any challenge that you might face. Pregnancy yoga might also be a solution to weight problems, back pains and impaired physical mobility.

Yoga for children
The natural flexibility and sense of balance help children learn the yoga poses and make progress much more easily and rapidly than adults. Children are adventurous by nature and all they need is a little encouragement. Being very good imitators they will willingly join you in your regular yoga practice. Children’s attention span is relatively short so yoga for children needs to be an interactive process in which children learn the poses through playing. It is an entertaining way to aid the physical development of children, strengthen their muscles, improve their flexibility, foster their imagination and the ability to express their emotions and explore their feelings.

Therapeutic yoga
Therapeutic yoga combines the traditional idea of yoga and its techniques with modern medicine and psychology. This practice consists of a selection of poses and techniques that can help treat conditions such as discopathy, scoliosis, back pain, blood hypertension, asthma, menstrual pain, stress, etc.

Laughter Yoga
Laughter Yoga (Hasyayoga) is a form of yoga employing self-triggered laughter. Laughter is simulated in a group with eye staring, frivolity, petting, and deep diaphragm breathing developing into real and contagious laughter. It is meant to be a combination of laughing and yoga breathing, in order to bring more oxygen to the body and the brain. Laughter yoga is based on the assumption that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter, and that their physiological and psychological benefits are identical.

Trance dance yoga
Yoga and dance are two great rivers that lead us back into our bodies and rejuvenate us with prana – the vital energy of life. Yoga awakens the breath, fluidity of the spine, and inner power. Free-form trance dance cultivates natural movement, intuition, and creativity. Now, with Yoga Trance Dance you can experience the benefits of both these traditions – in one energized workout.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a practice which leads you to complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.   Literally, yoga nidra means “psychic sleep.” The body is asleep, but the mind is awake and listening. The main posture you have to stay in, is called Shavasana - lying on the back with spread legs, the arms are placed on the sides of the trunk, the palms of the hand are facing the ceiling and you are listening the instructions of the yoga teacher.
