Yoga
We offer a variety of yoga classes at Yogahome such as Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Pregnancy yoga, Jivamukti and personal one to one classes. If you are new to Yoga and unsure where to begin, just check out our options below for the best opportunities for new students.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic high heat flowing practice to tone, strengthen and detoxify. Repeating and building on elements of the Primary Series. In this class you will repeat the same sequence of poses each week, ultimately committing it to memory and moving on to self practice.
Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar yoga focuses on precision and alignment of the body in the postures, using yoga equipment such as blocks and belts to help lengthen and open the body. The quiet pace of the class allows you to explore each posture in depth, to develop excellent body awareness and release deeply held tension.
Jivamukti Yoga
Jivamukti yoga integrates the physical, philosophical and spiritual aspects of yoga. Classes include strong flowing sequences of yoga postures taught to music, with breathing exercises and chanting.
Meditation with Pranayama
Building on breath work (pranayama) to focus and calm the mind, this class will lead you seemelssly into meditation. A practice truly accessible to everyone: no experience necessary. Following preparatory stretches and breathing practice, you will be guided through ways to sit, concentrate, and access a stillness of mind that, even if only achieved for a few moments, will bring you clarity and serenity. A great introduction to meditation as well as a way to deepen or refresh your practice. Various teachers may bring a range of different techniques to the class.
