Hatha yoga classes in Porto. Hatha is an ancient practice developed in India and Nepal. Today, it is one of the most popular practices in the West, based on the combination of postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama). It can be as smooth or intense as the students can achieve, and the practice and requirement is personalized to the stage of evolution and characteristics of each person. The term Hatha derives from the combination of the concepts of "Ha" (which represents the Sun) and "Tha" (Moon), and Hatha Yoga is a practice of joining these two energies and balance between body and mind. Yoga is always as physical as it is mental… what is physical, mental or spiritual in any Yoga practice is always a very personal experience.

Vinyasa Yoga classes in Porto. Vinyasa is a style developed in the US in the 80's and 90's, a more energetic variation with a sequence of asanas covered in fluid and continuous movements, linked by the breath. Asanas are therefore faster and shorter. Unlike Ashtanga, it does not have a pre-set sequence of asanas, offering a variety of different movements and asanas. The term Vinyasa derives from the Sanskrit “Vi + Nyasa”, which means “variation within certain parameters” or “movement in an intentional or special way”. That is, variability but not chaos. It is a practice based on breathing and change, embracing the transience of each state and connecting the sequence of movements with the intention of evolving towards what is most important to each one.

A Slow Yoga class is a vinyasa style at a more meditative pace, emphasizing peace and calm in body and mind. The poses are held longer, taking several breaths in each pose, giving the body time to stretch and acquire muscle "memory". Slow Flow can be less "intimidating" for beginners to yoga and those recovering from injuries. But a slow flow is not "easy" or "smooth". Stretching is emphasized in Slow Flow but also allows you to work on strength in more challenging asanas. Learning to "move slowly" is a mindfulness practice and can help calm the mind and manage stress. We all need to find moments to slow down and experience some calm.

Aerial Yoga is a yoga suspended in silk fabrics, allowing inverted and “acrobatic” postures that promote flexibility, muscle stretching and self-confidence. Fluid movements, twists, inversions and other traditional yoga techniques are adapted to the fabric, making the practice more playful and artistic, requiring confidence, balance, strength and concentration. Suspension allows us to have a different view of our body and its limits, intensifies body awareness, improves stretching and, when in inversion, allows a decompression of the spine, generating sensations of lightness, relaxation and well-being. A unique and visually beautiful experience. It is a beginner-friendly style, and any movement and position can be adapted as the students evolve.
