Blissful Balance Yoga
Namaste
My name is Katherine and I am certified in many forms to yoga: Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, and Yin. My hope is to help you get unstuck physically and spiritually and find peace and joy.
Types of Yoga
Vinyasa
Vinyasa, often referred to as "Vinyasa Flow", focuses on the transition between poses. It also maintains a more rapid flow of movement through different postures. The structure of Vinyasa flow will vary greatly from class to class since the definition of the style is so broad. Due to its faster class pace, many people are drawn to Vinyasa classes for its fitness applications.
Hatha
Hatha yoga instead combines the use of deep breathing and different postures to achieve a meditative state through a gentle level class with basic yoga movements.
Restorative
Restorative yoga classes are very calm and slow-paced. These classes focus on the use of props to achieve restorative poses that calm and promote healing in the body. A restorative yoga class will usually include only 5-8 poses that are held for longer periods of time; up to five minutes or longer. The purpose of these classes is to relax and rest. The poses involved are calming and require minimal effort. Through longer holds, the objective of Restorative yoga is to stimulate healing processes within the nervous system.
Yin
Yin Yoga provides a slower and more meditative style of yoga. In Yin, different poses are held for longer periods of time for a deeper stretch. In these classes, a pose is usually held for 1-2 minutes, but can sometimes be held for up to 5 minutes in duration. The purpose of holding poses for long periods of time is to target the deeper tissues in our body; our connective tissue, ligaments, joints, and fascia. In Yin Yoga philosophy, it’s believed that by releasing our tissues in this way, we can improve and remove blocked Chi or energy in our body. Another benefit of Yin Yoga is that a static pose is a safer way to apply stress to the joints.
