• Ashtanga: The practice of Ashtanga is a fast-paced series of sequential postures practiced by yoga master K. Pattabhi Jois, who lives in Mysore, India. The system is based on six series of asanas, which increase in difficulty, allowing students to work at their own pace. At Easton Yoga you’ll be led through the Primary Series. We work with Sun Salutations A&B, standing postures, seated postures and finishing postures. Variations for postures are also often taught, so that students can gradually cultivate correct alignment in order to safely practice more difficult postures. Be prepared to sweat!
• DansKinetics: NO YOGA OR DANCE EXPERIENCE NEEDED!!! A dynamic experience of inner rhythm and expressive movement, Kripalu DansKinetics traces its roots to the free flow of yoga postures in Kripalu Yoga known as meditation-in-motion. Based on the chakras and the energy inherent in each, this training teaches you to open and flow with your innate joyfulness.
• Hatha Flow: Works to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or Asanas, Breathing Techniques or Pranayama, and Meditation. Practically all yoga forms (with exception of Kundalini and a few others) are some form of Hatha yoga.
• Kundalini: The philosophy of Kundalini Yoga is that it is everybody's birthright to be "healthy, happy and holy," and he believed Kundalini would help spiritual seekers from all religious paths tap into their greater potential. It is a complete science that combines postures (asanas), movement, sound current (mantra), breath (pranayama) and meditation into powerful sets called kriyas. Classes involve sometimes-seated gentle or more vigorous asanas done repetitively for extended periods of time. (See Workshops Schedule for Current Kundalini classes)
• Restorative: Teaches "active relaxation." By supporting the body with props, we alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance. Some poses have an overall benefit. Others target an individual part, such as the lungs or heart. The asanas of Restorative Yoga create specific physiological responses, which are beneficial to health and can reduce the effects of stress-related disease. In general, restorative poses are for those times when you feel weak, fatigued, or stressed from your daily activities.

•Flow: More common known as vinyasa is a highly refined, energetic, flowing sequence of postures linked together with dynamic breathing. Expect to sweat while you build strength and flexibility. Open Vinyasa classes vary from day to day. Sometimes there are long holdings and sometimes the tempo moves quickly. Open Vinyasa yoga flows are designed to address the entire physical frame. Everything is there: forward folding, standing and balancing postures, upper body and abdominal work, lateral stretches, twists, backbends and inversions. Breath-synchronized movement.
