This class expands on the dynamic Vinyasa-based asana practice and includes hands-on adjustments, breath awareness, meditation and deep relaxation. This class teaches more difficult postures and breathing techniques and students must have developed a more subtle practice of yoga—including proper yogic breathing (ujjayi breath) as well as established deeper focus and concentration in order to attend. Knowledge of alignment for traditional yoga poses is mandatory.
This class introduces more challenging asanas, sun salutations variations, inversions and backbends. Not suitable for beginners.

“Flow Yoga, or “Vinyasa Flow” combines a series of flowing postures with rhythmic breathing for an intense body-mind workout. In Vinyasa classes postures are linked together in a continuous and challenging flow and the common thread is a breath-synchronized movement that develops strength and flexibility while keeping students on the move. This style of yoga is a derivation of the practice of Ashtanga Yoga, a challenging and disciplined series of poses designed to create heat and energy flow. The many benefits of this class include building upper body strength, detoxification, mental and physical balance, flexibility, and stamina. Every class will be a different sequencing of postures that is specially designed by the instructor.

This disciplined practice covers the full Ashtanga Primary Series, a dynamic, fast-paced series of sequential postures transmitted by yoga master Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Each pose is linked to the next through a series of connecting movements called vinyasa, allowing the body to create heat and leading to more flexibility. Smooth, deep breathing (ujjayi) is synchronized with the movements. This powerful and vigorous practice purifies and realigns the body, cultivating a feeling of inner peace, and leading to a natural state of meditation.

You will learn some key postures from each of the main groups including standing poses, forward and back bends, twists, sun salutations, seated poses, and simple inversions. We look at the importance of alignment in all postures, how to work towards experiencing ease and stability in poses and the importance of the breath – its effect on your practice and using it as a simple way to start meditating.
