What is...?

What is Yoga?
Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means "union". It refers to the union of mind, body, and spirit. The practice of Yoga in North America is probably better defined as asana, a Sanskrit word that refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.
The best understanding comes from experience. We recommend you drop in for a beginner class and sample Yoga Within.

What is Kundalini?

What is Family Yoga?

What is Yin Yoga?
The fundamental theory of Taoism is that all things can be described by their mutually complementary Yin and Yang aspect. A Taoist analysis of Yoga practice emphasizes the critical difference between Yin and Yang tissues of the body. Muscles and blood are Yang, connective tissues and joints are Yin. Yin and Yang tissues do not respond to training in the same way and a student’s practice becomes more effective when the difference is understood. Most forms of Yoga practiced today are Yang, they emphasize muscular movement and contraction. By contrast Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Yin postures are held three to five to ten minutes at a time. This form of yoga practice would be used to complement more active practices, and is a great aid for learning to sit in meditation.
The practice works with our energy body, clearing blockages in the nadis (meridians) and increasing the flow of prana or chi, improving the health of our organs as well as increasing our energy and promoting a general sense of wellbeing.

What is Sunrise Yoga?
Start your day the right way - enjoy an early morning practice to get you ready for what ever is coming. This 6:00 am class draws from all styles of yoga to create a wonderful wake-up and get ready practice.

What is Yoga Flow?
Bridging the styles of a Hatha class with the flow of an Ashtanga class, the Hatha Flow class is a stronger flowing class creating a good work out and a bit more challenge than your regular Hatha class. This one is sure to become a favourite.

What is Yoga Dance with Natasha?
Yoga Dance is a unique and invigorating approach to body-spirit fitness, incorporating elements of movement therapy, Qi Kung, Yoga and dance. Yoga Dance classes are a balance of directed and spontaneous movements. Each class is unique. Gradually the instructor stops being the choreographer and invites students to create their own movements patterns.
