Questions about
yoga in Portland?
Here is a
guide
to practice
styles:
Hatha
Yoga
Well, this term actually refers to
any of the styles employing the poses of the yoga tradition and not
to a particular teaching method, pace or syllabus. All of our
classes are hatha yoga in one form or another.
Ashtanga
A vigorous, flowing practice taught
in a particular sequential order. Ashtanga is a challenging practice
that gradually builds strength and flexibility over time.
Power
Yoga
Flow
Yoga
Vinyasa
Yoga
These are all offshoots of the
ashtanga system and whatever Portland yoga studio you go to will
have their own idea of pacing and intensity. All are more
improvisational than ashtanga but use many of the same elements:
ujjayi breathing, the ashtanga style sun salutations and the idea of
a flow between poses with vinyasa.
Yin
Yoga
Long holds in supported poses
characterize this style.
Kundalini
Yoga
A unique blend of chanting,
meditation, breath of fire and other pranayamas, along with asana
sequences designed for specific results.

- Yin Yoga at Yoga
Bhoga! Yin practice involves long

constricted connective tissue that is a result of the aging
process as well as too much active work in sports or
ashtanga style yoga practice. With Teresa Bergen Mondays
3:30-5 pm and Beth James Wednesdays 3:30-5 pm. Also check out
Beth's 5:30 pm Vinyasa / Yin classes Mondays and Fridays.
