By definition, restorative yoga is a restful practice that holds yoga poses (asanas) for a longer duration using props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. It is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga—the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly. 2, record 2, English, - restorative%20yoga

Our aerial yoga teacher training is a yoga based, rather than acrobatic, form of aerial yoga using the soft yoga hammock to practice traditional hatha yoga. The hammock is a prop like a strap or block, intended to assist alignment, deepen awareness and provide the immediate benefit of spinal decompression.

Une séance typique du vinyasa yoga peut commencer par la salutation du soleil puis par un étirement plus intense et la réalisation d'un équilibre propre à elle en réalisant une posture donnée puis son opposée. En outre, le vinyasa yoga est un style qui permet aux élèves de changer plus rapidement de postures plutôt que de les maintenir beaucoup plus longtemps comme il est le cas dans d’autres styles de yoga. En conséquence, ce style de yoga est souvent plus actif que les autres et permet également d’améliorer la souplesse, de tonifier le corps, d’augmenter les niveaux énergétiques, de relâcher la tension et de favoriser la relaxation. 1, record 8, French, - vinyasa%20yoga

The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon." Thus, hatha yoga is known as the branch of yoga that unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. It concentrates on the third (asana) and fourth (pranayama) steps in the eight limbs of yoga. Hatha yoga tries to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or asanas, breathing techniques or pranayama, and meditation. 3, record 11, English, - hatha%20yoga

Kundalini yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Practitioners call kundalini yoga the yoga of awareness because it focuses primarily on practices that expand sensory awareness and intuition in order to raise individual consciousness and merge it with the infinite consciousness of God Brahman. Considered an advanced form of yoga and meditation, its purpose is to cultivate the creative spiritual potential of a human to uphold values, speak truth, and focus on the compassion and consciousness needed to serve and heal others. 3, record 12, English, - kundalini%20yoga
