Yoga Styles at Earth + Ember
Movement Therapy
Comprised of simple movements in different, comfortable positions, ease is encouraged over perfection. Attention to the spine, shoulders, and hips first trains "pure" movement: letting go of holding patterns in the body and stimulating a more balanced movement pattern.
Hatha
Poses are often held for a few breaths, giving yogis time to understand their alignment within the pose, find their breath, and build comfort and strength. Hatha can challenge individuals, help develop strength and endurance, and provide a safe space to develop stress management skills.
Restorative
Restorative Yoga uses props, especially blankets, to support the body in gentle, fully supported poses that encourage deep relaxation and activate the parasympathetic "rest and digest" response. This practice helps you shift your energy inward, promoting healing, nourishment, and rejuvenation by allowing the body and mind to fully unwind.
Stråla
Strala Yoga is a movement-based practice that blends yoga, tai chi, and traditional Eastern philosophies to create a fluid and intuitive style. It focuses on ease of movement, breathing, and finding flow in each pose rather than rigid alignment. Strala encourages you to move naturally, helping reduce tension, increase flexibility, and cultivate a calm, centered mindset. Strala Yoga promotes a sense of freedom, strength, and mindfulness in both body and mind.
Kundalini
Known as the "yoga of awareness," Kundalini Yoga combines dynamic movement, breathwork, meditation, and mantra chanting to awaken and channel energy throughout the body. This practice focuses on unlocking the kundalini energy located at the base of the spine, promoting mental clarity, emotional balance, and a heightened sense of spiritual connection.
AcroYoga
Acro Yoga is a dynamic, active form of yoga that encourages communication, curiosity, and playfulness. It is at least a 3-person endeavor, with a base, flyer, and spotter to keep everyone safe. We keep yoga in the mix, considering breath, connection, exploration, and the continued practice of learned skills.
