Approach   Initially, it is recommended that companies commit to a 3 month program of yoga classes, once or twice each week. This provides an introduction to the fundamentals of yoga including proper breathing techniques, basic yoga postures and an introduction to meditation.

After the initial period, both student and teacher have a better idea of the approach that is most suitable for them and classes progress to a more 'dynamic' style or a more relaxing 'restorative' style of yoga. Dynamic yoga helps to energize and motivate, stimulating the body and releasing tension in the muscles and mind. It is based on the popular Ashtanga Vinyasa system and includes a dynamic flow of postures linked together by a unique breathing style. The effect creates strength, stamina and a relaxed mind.
