Find your own style



Have you ever noticed all of the familiar faces in your yoga class? That sense of community is one of the best parts of creating a regular practice at Body Studio. Uniting in meditation can be a powerful experience, and creating a weekly dedication to a sacred communal space has the potential to foster significant transformations.

Nevertheless, it can be very enriching to branch out to try a new class in a different yoga style. Find a new community of yogis in one of the 3 Yogic traditions offered at Body. If you've hesitated to try a new style of yoga because you're unsure of what they might entail, take a peak at the following demystifying descriptions.

Hatha Yoga : Focuses on breathing technique and extended meditation. This practice is excellent for purification of the mind and the physical body. This style of yoga is perfect for the beginner, because it tends to be slow paced, and helps develop proper technique in the asanas. ~Taught by Laurence, Tim, and Emily~

Vinyasa Yoga:
This technique appeals to yogis who are looking for a faster paced class. All asanas are practiced in a flowing sequence that focuses on alignment and movement. Body offers several Vinyasa classes, occasionally with live music accompaniment. ~Taught by Emily, Sean, and David~

Ashtanga Vinyasa:
These classes are generally lead off by a Sanskrit mantra. Historically this tradition originates from an ancient Indian text, the Yoga Korunta, that touted the benefits of following a specific series.
