At Yoga Embrace Studio, I wanted to bring a variety of styles of yoga as there are so many benefits of each one and no style is the same as the other! So if you think you simply “don’t like yoga” make sure you try them ALL out because there are so many and there will be one that resonates with you.

Yin Yoga targets our fascia (connective tissues) of the physical body but also helps stimulate prana (chi) life force energy into our meridian lines. It is a deeply meditative practice allowing us to fully slow down and soother the nervous system.

Restorative Yoga is a deeply relaxing style, going deeper into a meditative state and helping to soother the mind, body and soul.

Beginners Yoga (hatha) is a slower paced style but focuses on building strength and flexibility in the muscles. A class generally starts off on the floor and we work up to a standing sequence with modifications, hands on adjustments and thorough instruction and guidance on how to move correctly and safely through your practice. The poses chosen for this class will always be suitable for beginners.

Vinyasa Flow - suitable for some beginners who are able to get themselves up and down from the floor and have a willingness to try and develop or deepen their practice. Typically in a vinyasa flow class you are moving with the breath (either exhale or inhale) seamlessly from pose to pose.

Ashtanag Led Primary - this is a relatively new style to the studio. Ashtanga is steeped in tradition and is a set sequence that never changes. You will find advanced asanas such has headstand in this practice - although you are not required to be able to do all of the poses it is necessary to have a willingness to learn and step out your comfort zones. The pace is fast and the session lasts typically an hour and a half. By the end you will feel stretched from head to toe, sweaty and energised! It’s my favourite of all the styles and it is now my personal practice.
