Back To The Basics: Yoga Styles

By Asana, Dublin, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Rachelle Hicks, Students, Teachers, Yoga, YogaHub

“Which style of yoga do you do?” It’s one of the most common questions asked when someone says they practice or teach yoga. Unless you’re dedicated to a specific lineage or style, chances are your practice fluctuates as much as our Irish weather. To break it down, we can say that mostly all movement and asana-based practices fall under the umbrella of “hatha”.

The Home of Yoga – A Yogahubbers Adventures in India

By Dublin, Humour, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Teachers, Vegan, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

  It’s currently raining in Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh, one of the Northernmost populated towns in the Indian Himalayas. Meanwhile, I hear that it’s been 26 degrees in Ireland. Typical! Monsoon season here is in full swing, and as irritating as a downpour can be in the midst of exploring new towns and places, the people that you meet when huddled together with a street of strangers under a bright blue tarpaulin to shelter from the rain often make it seem…
