Yoga is for all body types, ages and levels of fitness and flexibility. Remember, each practice is a different experience. Some times the focus will be on alignment, other times on physical strength or flexibility, and some times even on mental discipline. It can be challenging - either physically or emotionally - to move through your boundaries and empower yourself both on and off the mat.
Ultimately, the goal is to help you reconnect the mind with the body.
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Ashtanga is a flowing practice with rhythmic breathing. The class is quite structured and follows a set sequence with small variations (i.e. the repetition from week to week is good for learning the foundations of the various postures). It can be quite a vigorous practice - great for building strength and flexibility.

Hatha Yoga
A Hatha class is more variable and is a mix of various other yoga styles. Separate breathing practice and slower pace. Remember though, that a slower pace can mean a more intense practice!
