Anusara Yoga - A style of yoga developed by John Friend known for its life affirming and heart centered approach. Anusara focuses on moving with integrated and balanced action through the use of the Universal Principles of Alignment and energetic loops.
Ashtanga Yoga - A system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures–a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Iyengar Yoga (Levels I, II, III) - Iyengar yoga places emphasis on physical alignment and precision in the poses in order to build concentration, strength and flexibility.

Iyengar, author of the classic yoga treatise Light on Yoga, who began teaching in Pune, India, in 1936 at the age of 18. Props such as blankets, blocks, and straps are used.
