Vinyasa Yoga
Flowing, creative, energizing, mindful, balanced
If you’ve ever thought about trying yoga but weren’t sure where to start, vinyasa yoga might be just the thing. Known as a “flow” style of yoga, vinyasa links movement and breath together in a way that feels almost like a moving meditation. Instead of holding poses for long periods, you transition smoothly from one to the next—think of it as a graceful dance on your mat. So, what makes vinyasa yoga so special? For starters, it’s an incredible workout. The continuous movement builds strength, improves flexibility, and gets your heart rate up more than you might expect. It’s also amazing for your mind—focusing on breath with movement can quiet a racing mind and help melt away stress. Many people leave class feeling both energised and deeply calm, which is a pretty great combo. Who’s it for? Honestly, almost anyone. If you enjoy variety and don’t like doing the same routine over and over, vinyasa is a perfect fit because no two classes are exactly alike. Beginners can jump in (though it may feel a little fast at first), and experienced yogis love it for the creativity and challenge. It’s especially good for people who want both physical fitness and mental clarity rolled into one practice. At its core, vinyasa is about connection—between body and breath, movement and stillness, effort and ease. Whether you’re looking to build strength, reduce stress, or just find a little more flow in your life, stepping onto the mat for a vinyasa class can be a great place to start.
Hatha Yoga
Gentle, grounding, foundational, calming, steady
If you’re curious about yoga but don’t want to dive straight into fast flows or intense workouts, hatha yoga is a wonderful place to begin. In fact, it’s often described as the foundation of most modern yoga styles. “Hatha” simply means the physical practice of yoga, but in today’s classes it usually refers to a slower-paced style that focuses on holding poses, breathing deeply, and finding balance between strength and relaxation. So, why give hatha yoga a try? For starters, it’s fantastic for building flexibility and gently strengthening the body. Because the pace is slower, you have time to really get into each posture and understand proper alignment, which helps prevent injury. Beyond the physical benefits, hatha is also a powerful stress-reliever—deep breathing and mindful movement can quiet the nervous system and leave you feeling calm, grounded, and refreshed. Who’s it for? Honestly, everyone. It’s especially beginner-friendly because you won’t feel rushed from one pose to the next. If you’re looking to ease into yoga, recover from stress, or just want a gentle but effective way to move your body, hatha is a great choice. On the flip side, even experienced yogis enjoy hatha for the chance to slow down and deepen their practice. At its heart, hatha yoga is about creating balance—between effort and ease, body and mind. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or simply want to reconnect with the basics, a hatha class can be the perfect reset button.
Yin Yoga
Slow, meditative, releasing, restorative, spacious
If life feels like it’s moving a little too fast, yin yoga might be exactly what you need. Unlike the more active styles of yoga, yin is all about slowing down, holding postures for several minutes at a time, and allowing your body (and mind) to truly settle. It’s less about building heat and more about creating space—both in your muscles and in your head. So, what are the benefits? For one, yin yoga works deep into the connective tissues—like ligaments, joints, and fascia—helping improve mobility and flexibility over time. But it’s not just physical. The stillness of yin offers a powerful way to practice patience, mindfulness, and presence. Many people leave class feeling deeply relaxed, like they’ve just hit the reset button. Who’s it for? Pretty much anyone who could use a pause. It’s especially great for people with busy, stressful lives (so, most of us), athletes who want to complement high-intensity training with recovery, or anyone who struggles to sit still and wants to gently practice slowing down. Beginners are welcome too—no fancy poses required. At its core, yin yoga is about letting go. Instead of pushing or striving, you’re invited to soften, surrender, and just be. In a world that’s always asking us to do more, yin is a refreshing reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is… nothing at all.
Mandala Yoga
Circular, dynamic, expressive, mindful, holistic
If you’re looking for a yoga practice that feels creative, playful, and a little different from the usual, mandala yoga might be just what you need. Instead of staying at the front of your mat, this style invites you to move around it—literally creating circles as you flow through postures. Inspired by the sacred geometry of mandalas, the practice is designed to connect body, mind, and elements in a more holistic way. So, what makes mandala yoga special? For one, it keeps things interesting. Moving in 360° engages your body in fresh ways, building strength, balance, and flexibility from all angles. It’s also deeply mindful—you’re not just flowing through poses, you’re moving with intention, almost like drawing art with your body. Many practitioners say the circular patterns help release stuck energy and create a sense of flow both physically and emotionally. Who’s it for? Mandala yoga is great for anyone who enjoys vinyasa-style movement but wants to explore a more creative, meditative twist. If you like the idea of blending movement, breath, and a touch of ritual, you’ll probably love it. Beginners can join in too, though a little familiarity with basic yoga postures helps, since the flow can be dynamic at times. At its heart, mandala yoga is about connection—circling back to yourself, your breath, and the present moment. It’s perfect if you want to step off the straight-and-narrow path and discover a practice that feels fluid, expressive, and just a little magical.
Rocket Yoga
Dynamic, playful, empowering, energizing, uplifting
f you’re craving a yoga practice that’s fast, fun, and a little bit fiery, rocket yoga might be your launchpad. Created in the 1980s as a playful spin on traditional Ashtanga yoga, Rocket is designed to “get you there faster”—breaking down rigid sequences into something more accessible, uplifting, and energizing. Think dynamic flows, arm balances, and plenty of chances to flip your perspective upside down. So, what are the benefits? Rocket yoga is amazing for building strength, stamina, and flexibility, but it doesn’t stop at the physical. The playful, free-flowing structure encourages you to explore, take risks, and let go of perfection. Many students say it leaves them feeling empowered, light, and buzzing with energy—like you’ve shaken off whatever was weighing you down. Who’s it for? Rocket is perfect for yogis who love to move, sweat, and experiment. If you’re into vinyasa or Ashtanga but want something a little more adventurous and less rigid, this practice is for you. Beginners can give it a try too—teachers often offer modifications—but it’s especially fun for those ready to challenge themselves and maybe even learn a few arm balances along the way. At its core, rocket yoga is about freedom and fun. It’s not about doing everything perfectly, but about seeing how high you can lift your energy, your mood, and maybe even your feet off the ground.
Yogalates
Balanced, strong, flexible, mindful, energizing
Can’t decide between yoga and Pilates? Good news—you don’t have to. Yogalates blends the best of both worlds: the mindful movement and flexibility of yoga with the core strength and stability of Pilates. It’s a practice that feels both grounding and energizing, giving you a full-body workout while also leaving you calm and centered. So, what are the benefits? Yogalates is fantastic for improving posture, toning muscles, and building a strong core. The yoga side helps increase flexibility and reduce stress, while the Pilates element enhances strength and alignment. Together, they create a balanced practice that supports not just fitness, but overall wellbeing. Who’s it for? Honestly, almost anyone. If you love the idea of yoga but also want that extra bit of strength training, Yogalates is a perfect fit. It’s beginner-friendly, adaptable for different fitness levels, and great for people looking to improve balance, prevent injury, or simply add variety to their routine. At its heart, Yogalates is about harmony—strength and softness, effort and ease. If you’re looking for a workout that keeps both body and mind happy, this hybrid practice might just be your sweet spot.
