Yin yoga
If you have ever sat for a long time with legs crossed, you know the hips and lower back need to be strong and open. The sensations you feel are deep in the connective tissues and the joints. These are the deep yin tissues of the body, relative to the more superficial yang tissues of muscles and skin. Yin Yoga opens up these deep, dense, rarely touched areas. Consistent practice of the Yin postures will maintain and improve the free flow of qi in these pathways.

Hatha yoga

The Iyengar method of Yoga
Is initially learnt through the in-depth study of asanas (posture) and pranayama (breath control).
Mr Iyengar has systematised over 200 classical yoga Asanas and 14 different types of Pranayamas (with variations of many of them) from the simple to the incredibly difficult. These have been structured and categorised so as to allow a beginner to progress surely and safely from basic postures to the most advanced as they gain flexibility, strength and sensitivity in mind, body and spirit. Iyengar style of practice is well known for the use of props such as ropes ,chairs and bolsters making it a very safe form of practice.
