All yoga is the legacy of classical Hatha yoga

All schools of yoga are traditions of classical Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga practices integrating asana (body posture), breathing, and meditation. Practicing yoga can help open and strengthen your body and mind, and can help you return to health, joy, and peace. This empowering exercise provides us with the opportunity to understand and develop our best qualities. Yoga helps us discover ourselves and encourages us to express ourselves in everything we do.

hot yoga

Hot yoga is a deliberate practice at high temperatures (36-40°C), so prepare to enjoy the joy of sweating! Hot yoga is an ideal exercise to help detoxify the body and increase body softness and strength. In each class, students face the mirror to observe their body position and progress. The postures of hot yoga are specially designed to allow practitioners to discover their progress through systematic teaching methods after a period of time. All postures can be adjusted according to individual conditions. This cardiopulmonary exercise strengthens, sculpts, and stretches muscles while settling and decompressing the mind. Regular practice can help you improve your concentration, balance, endurance, and eliminate fatigue. Hot yoga is not recommended for pregnant women, patients with high and low blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.

Exercise yoga

Dynamic yoga is a dynamic exercise that combines movement, breathing and body alignment. Dynamic yoga emphasizes synchronizing the posture with the breath, so that the posture follows the breath. Dynamic yoga is connected through specific postures. In exercise yoga, we use the victorious breathing method and the energy seal in the deepest parts of your muscles to allow you to naturally generate body heat from the inside out. Each class is an all-encompassing adventure that takes you beyond the boundaries of body and soul. Each class has a focus, such as back bend, hip or forward bend, or a combination of a series of challenging and energizing postures. Exercise yoga is suitable for practitioners of all levels.

static yoga

Still yoga is a joyful, gentle, and deep healing and meditation practice. The function of static yoga is to reduce stress and tension and help operate the connected tissues and internal systems within the body. All postures are either sitting or leaning for 5 - 15 minutes, while aromatherapy and yoga props (blankets, yoga pillows, and yoga bricks) are used to supplement the class. In still yoga, deep and continuous breathing is encouraged. Still yoga is an excellent practice in conjunction with hot yoga and dynamic yoga, and SPACE recommends still yoga classes at least once a week to balance your personal yoga practices.

Anusara is one of the fastest growing factions in the world today.

The word Anusara means to dance with the grace of God. On a deep philosophical basis, it combines the characteristics of many classical schools to develop a creative, powerful and delicate Hada Yoga. This sect was created by American yoga master John Friend who spent his life studying in the United States and India and many world-class masters. When John Friend met his mentor Gurumayi Chidvilasananda in India, he was a yoga teacher certified by the Iyengar faction for many years. Under the deep spiritual inspiration of the master, he decided to create Anusara faction yoga. Anusara uses the principle of universal order method to open the body and is highly effective. When we practice our bodies in this way and do everything positive, we can bloom our hearts and understand the infinite potential of being human. Anusara is a tribute to the soul and respects each student's unique abilities or limits. Anusara's unique feature is that it occasionally stops to learn special sequencing methods or practice with partners in fluid postures full of vitality, fun and transformative energy.

Anusara School has the most rigorous training and certification program in the world today. Each certified teacher has thousands of hours of training in yoga body alignment and rehabilitation, anatomy, yoga history and philosophy, leadership, and teaching techniques.

Ashtanga Yoga

Literally, eight-limb yoga is taught by Sri K.Pattabhi Jois. Patanjili, an Indian wise man, explained the theoretical principles of eight-limb yoga in his Yoga Sutra. The so-called eight-limb yoga are precepts (moderation), diligence (observation), asana (posture), recuperation (mastery of breathing), sensory control (withdrawal of consciousness), concentration (concentration), meditation (meditation), and samadhi (meditation or blessing).

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient yoga system developed by Sri T. Krishnamacharya has been passed down to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.Pattabhi Jois is the master of today's Bachata Yoga system and leads the Bachata Yoga Research Institute in Messo, India, to introduce Bachata Yoga to the West. His grandson, Sharath Rangaswamy, is the vice president of the A.Y.R.I. Hachi Yoga Institute and also teaches yoga with his grandfather.

Ashtanga Yoga is a series of powerful Hatha poses, practicing a fluid series of movements (series) combining bandhas (contraction of inner muscles), throat breathing and gaze (focused gaze). Ashtanga Yoga is a challenging exercise that deepens mental concentration, strengthens strength and lasting endurance and increases lung capacity. This exercise creates a deep inner energy and a relaxed meditative state. If you enjoy Hatha yoga or yoga, Ashtanga yoga will lead you into a deeper and ultimate experience.

There are six series in the Ashtanga yoga system, and students prepare for the next series in each series. Only when the first level (basic series) is practiced can students advance to the second level (intermediate series). Each series unfolds a unique physical and mental dimension. The first class, called Yoga Chikitsa, is said to be able to readjust and repair and detoxify the body. The second level, called Shodana (Cleansing Nerve Trains), purifies and strengthens the nervous system and the subtle energy pathways that connect the seven chakras. The next four senior series classes are known as Sthira Bhaga (Magic Balance). These series further extend the strength, softness, concentration, vitality and all aspects of the basic and intermediate series. SPACE's Ashtanga courses are a first-level basic series, parts of the intermediate series are taught in Mysore courses, and the advanced series are taught by senior teachers certified by Guruji Pattabhi Jois.

Energy Yoga

Teaching in a warm thirty-degree classroom, energy yoga combines concentration, awareness, and vitality, with breathing and powerful and fluid movements to create an intense and exciting lesson. Energy yoga is characterized by a carefully designed and arranged fixed process (i.e., sequence of asana practice). This set of movements connects smoothly and effectively strengthens the abdominal core. Start with a standing and balanced posture that helps open the body, releases tension and promotes energy flow, and end with a slow, calm posture to cool down, leading you back to your inner center and natural peace. Such course content can help you build strength, softness, and mental clarity.

All SPACE courses end with a big break. In this stance, our bodies will completely let go after integrating and harvesting our practices. This is a time to stop and taste the sweetness of life, which is closely connected to our beautiful inner self. Through this exercise, a process of disarming ourselves is about to begin.

What is Energy Yoga?

Energy yoga is a general term for strong practice asana in Western society. Most energy yoga is based on Ashtanga yoga (eight-limb yoga). In the mid-1990s, when yoga instructors tried to make Ashtanga yoga more approachable, the name energy yoga gradually became widely used. SPACE's energy yoga is practiced according to a series of postures.

Who created energy yoga

The most frequently praised American yoga instructors when referring to the origins of energy yoga are Beryl Bender Birch in New York and Bryan Kest in Los Angeles, both of whom were taught by Ashtanga yoga guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois。Unlike yoga, which is known to the general public as gentle stretching and meditation, the energy yoga they teach is a form of yoga with a powerful flow. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
