Yoga is more than just a practice—it’s a journey, a way to connect with yourself, and an opportunity to explore what your body, mind, and spirit truly need. At 11Exhale, we’re proud to offer a variety of yoga styles, each designed to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Whether you’re looking to build strength, find relaxation, or simply reconnect with your breath, there’s a class that’s perfect for you.

One of the most beautiful things about yoga is that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Each style offers unique benefits, and exploring different classes can help you discover new layers of your practice. Let’s take a closer look at the styles we offer and how they can support your growth.

1. Power Flow

What to Expect: An energetic, fast-paced class that challenges your strength, endurance, and flexibility. Power Flow combines flowing sequences with strength-building poses, providing a full-body workout that will leave you feeling empowered and invigorated. Expect to sweat, move, and push your edge as you flow through dynamic sequences.

Benefits: Builds physical strength, increases stamina, and enhances mental focus. Perfect for those looking for a more intense, fitness-oriented yoga experience.

Why Try It: If you’re ready to ignite your inner fire, explore your limits, and embrace a more challenging practice, Power Flow is the perfect choice. It’s an amazing way to build confidence and discover your strength—both on and off the mat.

2. Slow Flow

What to Expect: A mindful, meditative practice that invites you to move with intention and awareness. Slow Flow connects breath to movement at a gentle pace, allowing you to explore each pose more deeply. This class offers an opportunity to cultivate mindfulness, release tension, and find your inner calm.

Benefits: Enhances flexibility, improves balance, and helps develop a deeper connection to your breath and body. Suitable for all levels, especially those who want to slow down and be more present.

Why Try It: Slow Flow is perfect if you’re looking for a practice that allows you to connect with your body and mind in a more intentional way. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore the subtleties of each pose, making it a great choice for both beginners and seasoned practitioners.

3. Gentle Flow

What to Expect: A nurturing, accessible practice designed to support relaxation and mindful movement. Gentle Flow offers simple, flowing sequences that help release tension and increase mobility, making it ideal for beginners, those recovering from injury, or anyone looking for a slower, more intentional practice.

Benefits: Encourages relaxation, reduces stress, and promotes flexibility. It’s a great way to ease into yoga or take a break from more vigorous styles.

Why Try It: If you’re in need of a little extra self-care, Gentle Flow is the perfect space to find comfort, ease, and a deeper connection to yourself. This class is all about listening to your body and moving in a way that feels good.

4. Yin Yoga

What to Expect: A slow, meditative practice focused on deep stretching and relaxation. In Yin Yoga, poses are held for longer periods (typically 3-5 minutes), allowing you to target the body’s connective tissues and find greater flexibility and release. It’s a deeply introspective experience that encourages mindfulness and stillness.

Benefits: Increases flexibility, supports joint health, and promotes a sense of calm. It’s an ideal complement to more active yoga styles or an opportunity to simply unwind.

Why Try It: Yin Yoga is perfect if you’re looking to balance your more active practices or need a moment of stillness in a busy world. It’s a chance to slow down, release deep-seated tension, and cultivate patience and mindfulness.

5. Restorative Yoga

What to Expect: A deeply relaxing, healing practice that uses props to support your body in restful, passive poses. Each posture is held for several minutes, allowing you to completely relax, recharge, and release stress. This class creates a nurturing environment to help you unwind and let go.

Benefits: Reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and encourages deep healing. It’s the ultimate way to recharge your mind, body, and spirit.

Why Try It: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just need a moment of complete rest, Restorative Yoga is the answer. It’s a beautiful way to practice self-care and create space for healing and renewal.

Why You Should Explore Different Styles and Instructors

Every yoga style offers something unique, and each instructor brings their own energy, experience, and perspective to the practice. By trying different styles and teachers, you’ll discover new ways to challenge yourself, deepen your practice, and experience the many layers of yoga. You might be surprised by what resonates with you or what you learn about yourself along the way!

So, whether you’re drawn to the invigorating flow of Power Yoga, the mindful movement of Slow Flow, the nurturing embrace of Gentle Yoga, the deep release of Yin, or the healing rest of Restorative, we encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and explore.
