Iyengar • This method of Hatha Yoga teaches the classic yoga postures through a deep awareness of correct alignment and precise actions in the body.  This technique helps to refine your poses and trains the mind to remain alert and focused.

Vinyasa • Means “breath-synchronized movement.” In other words, in this style of yoga the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance.

Anusura • Means "flowing with grace."  Anusara yoga is a modern school of Hatha Yoga grounded in a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness.  The poses are considered to be “healing oriented” and are expressed from the “inside out.”

Power Yoga • This method is a combination of traditional yoga with dynamic exercises. It places demands on all of the muscles, boosting circulation and improving muscle tone.  Poses flow from one to another building upon higher levels of energy and heat, allowing for greater flexibility.
