Rocket
With its foundation in the Ashtanga yoga tradition, Rocket yoga provides a dynamic sequence that both opens and strengthens the body. It is known for its love for floating and flying, so you will explore inversions, transitions and arm balances. The perfect marriage of tempo and sequence will awaken your body, the nervous system and feed it the precious prana it craves while promoting a spirit of change and freedom in your practice.
-
Dharma
Dharma Yoga is a graceful, yet challenging form of yoga based on Sri Dharma Mittra’s almost fifty years of practice of classical yoga. The practice is appropriate for students of all levels, from beginner to lifelong practitioners and accessible to so many because it meets each student where they are and according to their condition. Students are encouraged to experience the practice in a meditative and spiritual way.
In essence, Dharma Yoga is a system of classical Hatha-Raja Yoga. A devotional practice that emphasizes good health, a clear mind and a kind heart.

Forrest
Forrest Yoga is at heart, a practice of self-healing and where healing in the emotional body is given careful attention. You will most likely experience breath in a way that releases stuck emotions and helps you to ride the feelings that arise when you lean into a deep pose. Key differences between Forrest and other styles include abdominal exercises, a relaxed neck and active feet. It manages to challenge but be accessible at the same time, and offers a different experience from Vinyasa Flow, as poses are held and there is internal exploration during the longer holds.
Forrest Yoga is wonderful for self-healing injuries but especially those with back pain.
