Yang yoga is a term used to describe the more dynamic and active forms of yoga. Ashtanga yoga, Hatha yoga, and Vinyasa yoga are specific styles that could be included as a yang practice.
Yang yoga poses often emphasize strength and endurance, they are active, powerful, and generate heat in the body.
When combined with a more relaxing and gentle sequence, the practice is then known as Yin Yang yoga or a Yin Yang yoga sequence. Traditionally, yin and yang are thought of as complementary (not opposites). Thus, balancing your more physically demanding yoga practice with gentle and restorative postures can be a way to create balance and harmony.
What to expect
• An active practice (of varying styles) that emphasizes heat and strength in the body.
• Since yang yoga incorporates many different styles, the classes will all be different.
• Careful attention is placed on your breath to generate energy throughout the practice.
• Physically, you will build strength and flexibility, endurance and improved energy levels.
• A wide range of options and styles available to choose from
