Hatha Yoga – the foundation of control

Hatha yoga is the origin of many modern styles. The emphasis lies on mastering breath and posture. The movements are calm, with attention to alignment and muscle activation.
Ideal for those who want to get to know their body better or improve flexibility without overstraining.

Scientific research shows that regular practice of Hatha yoga improves heart rate variability and stress regulation: a sign of better recovery capacity.

Flow Yoga – movement in rhythm

Flow yoga (also known as Vinyasa) focuses on fluid transitions between poses. Breath and movement are synchronized, creating a meditative form of exertion.
This style strengthens the cardiovascular system and improves coordination and focus.

Yin Yoga – letting go and recovering

While most workouts target the muscles, Yin yoga focuses on connective tissue and joints. By holding poses for several minutes, circulation and flexibility are improved at a deeper level.

It has been proven that this form activates the parasympathetic nervous system, causing cortisol levels to drop and mental tension to decrease. Yin yoga is therefore not a “light” variant, but an essential recovery tool.

Acro Yoga – trust and connection

Acro yoga combines strength, balance, and cooperation. By performing poses in pairs, you train stability, core strength, and coordination—as well as communication and trust.
A unique experience for those seeking a challenge through connection.

This style is often used as a playful counterpart to structured strength training.

Restorative Yoga – deep rest for body and nervous system

Restorative yoga is entirely focused on relaxation and recovery. In this gentle form, poses are supported for long periods with cushions, blankets, and bolsters, so that muscles do not have to exert any effort. This gives the body the opportunity to release tension and bring the nervous system to a state of deep rest.

This style is ideal for those prioritizing recovery, such as during periods of high training load, stress, fatigue, or rehabilitation. Research shows that restorative practices lower the heart rate, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and improve sleep quality.
