Each teacher differs even though they teach the same style. Hatha is the physical exercise part of yoga. Hatha yoga includes power yoga, restorative yoga, slow flow etc. Each class incorporates some meditation, pranayama – breath work, movement with breath and a series of Asana (postures).
Hatha as mentioned above, is physical forms and exercise designed to condition the physical body. Within the context of yoga, the exercises are done with attention to how we feel physically and mentally. We connect to a feeling of embodiment which is the moment to moment awareness of sensing, feeling and responding.
Yoga HIIT Fusion Yoga HIIT is a holistic fusion of faster, repetitive bursts of cardio activating movement, HIIT (High intensity interval training) built from joint-safe, anatomically informed yoga poses. Each 1.15 hr class is a weave of 8-20 minutes (2-4 rounds) of HIIT with Delia’s slow flowing, endurance building, soul restoring, physics based yoga style.
Hatha Flow moves at a steady, flowing pace. There is still time spent focusing on stillness, alignment, and awareness to breath.
Power Flow is a style of yoga where we build heat, strength, and move into postures that some consider more challenging and effortful, but always done with safety, attention to alignment and consideration to all body types and capabilities in the room.
Restorative Yoga is practised mostly on the ground, laying down and recharging. Many props are used (and provided) to support the joints while placing the body in various positions such as backbends, twists, forward folds. This is a good practise for someone who wants to be in stillness for longer periods of time while also opening the physical body.

I am honoured to teach yoga at Green Room Yoga. It is a highly inclusive and affordable studio. This studio has so much integrity, it's unpretentious, and has some of the city's best teachers. The studio is small so I have gotten to know my students well and we can communicate what their needs are and what they might need from me as a teacher. I have had the privilege and honour to be teaching some of the same students for 10 years now. This studio inspires me to grow as a teacher and a student of yoga.
