Yoga Styles
This yoga holiday includes up to ten daily yoga classes. These include various yoga styles such as:
- AERIAL YOGA: Aerial Yoga combines traditional mat yoga with postures suspended in soft fabric hammocks. With the help of gravity and the hammocks, you can playfully explore floating, fluid movements and create space in our bodies without compressing our joints and spine. Unlike other classes, photos and videos are encouraged in this session.
- ASHTANGA: Guided class following the sequence of asanas strictly in the tradition of Sri K Pattabhi Jois, linking the postures together in a Vinyasa. Traditional and dynamic practice with a deep relaxation at the end of the class.
- BEGINNER: For all those who want to start their yoga journey. Become familiar with the fundamentals of yoga practice, and receive more detailed instructions in the poses.
- CHAKRA FLOW: A chakra based Vinyasa practice with a changing theme each week (i.e. grounding, opening up, core strength, heart-opening). The class ends with Pranayama and Meditation.
- CHAKRA SODHANA MEDITATION: this is a meditation technic that helps to purify the chakras. Done through the concentration of each chakra: visualizing each chakra's colour, shape and also repeating the root mantra of each chakra.
- CHEST AND HIP OPENING: This class is designed to counteract the 'all too familiar' postures of hunching over a computer or steering wheel (our modern-day sitting lifestyle). It helps to open and loosen the joints and muscles around the hips and the chest area. The benefit of this class is decreased back pain and shoulder tightness, as well as improving our spirits to support daily activities.
- CREATIVE VINYASA: Creative Vinyasa is the extension of Vinyasa Flow where the movement is branching out from the usual sequence of Vinyasa. This class aims to bring out the happiness within you and to set yourself free and "dance" your body with the rhythm of your breath.
- CORE STRENGTH VINYASA: deep, vigorous and energizing Vinyasa, for core strength, flexibility, alignment, and awareness. You’ll get every inch of your body working together to build all-over strength and capability, beginning right from your center!
- DETOX FLOW: feeling sluggish? Twist it out! Release toxins and leave this class cleansed, glowing and rejuvenated.
- GENTLE FLOW: this class offers students a balance of gently strengthening and mobilizing poses, dynamic and static poses, linked by conscious breath. Appropriate for those who want a softer, slow-paced, well-supported practice.
- FLYHIGH YOGA: Flyhigh yoga is a mixed practice of aerial and Iyengar yoga. This is a mixed level class that moves with fluidity and links poses together, defying gravity and eventually learning how to play with it. Being in the air can be challenging yet exhilarating and Serenity Eco-Guesthouse and Yoga will show you how beautiful an upside-down world can be.
- HATHA: Slow-paced practice with an emphasis on strengthening and loosening up the body and increasing concentration to stable, regular breathing. With Hatha Yoga practice your body will feel open and strong, your breathing unobstructed and your mind calm and quiet – ready for seated meditation.
- HANDSTAND FOR ALL LEVELS: in this class, you will learn about handstand preparation, build confidence and discover how to be upside down safely, in different entries, as well as to maintain balance. You will be doing exercises from wrist preparation, how to use your hand to balance, body positions, to kicking up with control against the wall.
- POWER YOGA: Power Yoga is a fitness-based Vinyasa practice. An offshoot of Ashtanga Yoga, it has many of the same qualities and benefits, including building internal heat, increased stamina, strength, and flexibility, as well as stress reduction.
- RESTORATIVE: complete relaxation, centering of the breath and body, aligning the physical and mental by practicing mental stillness or gentle movement for extended periods of time. Allowing the body and mind to rest and restore.
- TANTRIC YOGA: a guided, completely intuitive practice using movement, breath & sound to awaken the life force and access the emotional & energetic blocks that are ready to be felt and released. Serenity Eco-Guesthouse and Yoga use circular breathing to take us to the gateway of our inner healer. This experience helps us release low vibrational energy and shifts us into a high frequency of pleasure and bliss.
- VINYASA: Vinyasa means "Connection of movement and breath". Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic sequence of breath-synchronized poses. Fluid and flowing practice to open and strengthen the body and mind.
- YIN YANG: This class starts with an energizing, uplifting practise which then transitions to a deep, peaceful practise helping you feel rejuvenated and balanced for the rest of the day.
- YIN: Slow-paced practice in which poses are held for 5+ minutes. Targeting the connective tissues, ligaments, organs, immune system, bones, and joints. Yin Yoga combines aspects of Hatha Yoga, the concept of the meridians in Chinese medicine, Taoist philosophy, and Buddhist meditation techniques.
- YIN SOUND HEALING: This class combines an hour-long of meditative stretches of yin yoga, combined with vibrational tones of singing bowls played around the studio. Singing bowls are a type of energy medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, and depression. The sounds can reduce imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.
- YIN RESTORATIVE: This class is the combination of two slow-paced styles of yoga that provides a gate-away to a way of life filled with more relaxation, greater mind fullness and, less stress.
