Hatha Yoga

The term Hatha Yoga refers to the practice of asanas or postures. The syllable “ha” refers to “prana” or vital force that governs the body. The term “tha” refers to the mental force and hence hatha yoga is considered a catalyst that awakens both of the energy levels that governs one’s life.

Hatha yoga is known as “The Yoga of Vitality.” It represents opposing energies following the same principal as yin-yang (male and female, positive and negative, hot and cold, etc.) Hatha yoga attempts to balance the mind and body. Asanas teach poise, balance and strength, and clear the mind.

Vinyasa

Vinyasa is a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement.” In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes referred to as Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together.

Each movement in the series is done on an inhalation or exhalation. Some very popular yoga styles, such as Ashtanga and Power Yoga make use of Vinyasa method.

Ayurveda

This therapy takes account of your whole being and lifestyle. It is a complete holistic approach for harmonized change to improve health and well being.

According to Ayurvedic texts, the human body is made up of the five elements of nature: (air, fire, water, space, and earth.) Each one is associated with different parts of the body and internal messaging between these parts. These elements are used to represent the structure of the body.
The structural aspects are then combined to create the three “Doshas” (Sanskrit for “forces that disturb”) which are responsible for the functional aspects of the body and how it reacts to the world around it. This practice covers things such as exercise that effect the basic physical appearance, behaviors, energy levels, attitudes and emotions.
