• Dynamic yoga, also known as vinyasa or power yoga, focuses on flowing movements that are synchronised with breathing. This style promotes physical strength, flexibility and endurance. The sequence of challenging poses activates the body, focusses the mind and increases the flow of energy. Dynamic yoga is good for strengthening the muscles and stimulating the circulation.

• Relaxing yoga, on the other hand, such as yin yoga or restorative yoga, focusses on gentle poses, staying in the positions for longer and conscious breathing. The aim is to release tension in the body, reduce stress and enable deep relaxation. This style is particularly suitable for regeneration, stress management and promoting inner peace.
