Vinyasa |
Vinyasa (translates to “flowing with breath”) is a dynamic style of
Hatha yoga which joins physical postures, or asanas, with inhales and
exhales, creating a steady internal rhythm for the practice. Our Flow classes
are designed to cultivate heat in the body with creative sequences involving
sun salutations, standing and seated postures, back bending, arm balancing,
and a strong focus on the power of breath awareness. Flow yoga classes tend
to be more vigorous and aerobic |

Slow Flow Yoga |
In a typical
Slow Flow class, you will practice about half the number of poses you
might practice in a Flow class. The pace is meditative, emphasizing
peace, and calm in body and mind. We hold poses longer, taking several
rounds of breath in each pose, instead of moving to each breath. Because
of this, Slow Flow is a less intimidating experience for
those newer to yoga and those who are nursing injuries. But don’t mistake Slow Flow for “easy” or “gentle” Flow.
Although stretching is often emphasized in Slow Flow, there is
plenty of room to work strength in the longer holds. |

Gentle Flow Yoga |
This
class is geared specifically for those new to yoga or those who are interested in a gentle practice. This class
incorporates simple flowing sequences to warm up the body, as well as
slower-paced movements focusing on alignment, strength, balance, and
flexibility. ... No experience or flexibility required. |
