Types of Online Yoga classes we specialize in and teach
Shvasa’s teachers have practiced and trained for years in the homeland of Yoga - India. Our teachers are experienced in various styles of Yoga, making sure you get to practice exactly what is required.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga classes are even-paced with great emphasis on the breath. Hatha Yoga postures when done in conjunction with the breath help us develop awareness, strength, focus, and balance. According to Hatha texts ‘Ha’ means sun and ‘tha’ means moon, and through the practice of Hatha Yoga we can balance these energies within the our bodies. Hatha Yoga can be very relaxing, yet energizing.
Vinyasa Yoga
Steady-paced dynamic classes, Vinyasa Yoga classes are practiced in a flow by stringing together asanas. Coordinated with the breath, these flows infuse energy, burn calories, ignite the digestive fire, called Agni, and improve strength and flexibility. Perfect for intermediate to advanced practitioners, these classes are challenging yet invigorating.
Ashtanga Yoga
A dynamic and challenging type of Yoga asanas, Ashtanga vinyasa classes consists of a series of asanas in a fixed sequence that strengthen yet balance and calm the mind and body. Movements are coordinated with the breath and practiced in a mindful and concentrated manner.
Restorative Yoga
Slow, meditative, and relaxing is the essence of a Restorative Yoga class. Consisting of practices that aim to restore and rejuvenate the mind and body, these classes allow you to focus on the breath while releasing stress and tension. Gentle, stress-relieving movements are practiced for a healing and calming impact.
Yin Yoga
A slow-paced practice, these classes focus on holding in one posture for 4-5 minutes. These classes help develop a deep meditative and relaxed state of mind. It allows you to slow down, withdraw from the external, release stress, and feel energized.
Pranayama
Prana means life force and Yama means regulation. Through the practice of Pranayama, we regulate the breath, and thus, the life force. Through various breathing exercises, we can balance, cool down, and energize the body, along with regulating many physiological systems.
Meditation
Proven to release stress, improve focus and productivity, sleep quality and calm the mind and body, meditation is a profound practice and one of the most positive habits you can form. We have regular, short meditation classes to help you achieve better mental health and well-being.
Yoga Nidra
A guided relaxation technique, this practice works on the subconscious mind, allowing you to release stress, anxiety, and worries. It balances the nervous system, helps overcome sleep difficulties, and is therapeutic for the mind.
