Bikram Style Yoga is world renowned as an incredibly effective workout. Due to the intense, heated environment you burn more calories in a Bikram class than other styles of yoga. It also presents a big challenge for the mind as you are completely absorbed by the practice, making it a great stress reliever as well as building confidence. It's essentially a Hatha Yoga class (posture based) so it’s not about moving from one posture to another it's about the postures themselves. It’s a fixed series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises designed for providing health-giving benefits. The series of postures work every joint, muscle, ligament, tendon, organ and system of the body to maintain health and is held in a heated room to 40-42 degrees and 40% humidity. This heated room supports deep stretching but also assists in the detoxification of the body through sweating and lymphatic movement.
Each posture is done twice with savasana in between each posture.
This class is ideal for beginners and experts alike as each posture has an entry level description and as you progress you can gradually work towards the more advanced versions of each posture. Seeing your gradual progress into the postures lesson by lesson is one of the things that makes it so addictive.
A fixed series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises. You’ll perform the same postures as in a Bikram class but we introduce more upper body and core work once we move to the seated sequence ….so get ready to sweat some more!

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of time, this may range from 45 seconds to two minutes for beginners; with more advanced practitioners staying in a posture for five minutes or more.
Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.
A restorative yoga sequence typically involves only five or six poses, supported by props that allow you to completely relax and rest. Held for 5 minutes or more, restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle backbends. Most restorative practices are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar.
