Four paths of yoga
Discover the combination of physical and mental practice that has guided practitioners for thousands of years.
Iyengar yoga
Focuses on posture, body alignment and opening of the body, using props such as blocks and belts to refine each pose.
Hatha yoga
Restores the balance of the body, working on the harmony between the chakras and energy points.
Bhakti yoga
From bhaj — to worship or love God. The path of devotion that unites the soul, atman, with Brahman, the true reality.
Ashtanga yoga
A direct offshoot of sage Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras; the name comes from the Sanskrit for eight — the eight limbs of yoga.
Meditation

Mother Lap Meditation draws on the feeling of being held in a mother’s lap — finding a secure and nurturing space within yourself.
