Vinyasa (which 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.
Emphasis is placed on core strength, flexibility, and balance as well as concentration and power of breath control. This mixed level class is based on asanas, deep breathing, mindfulness, and listening to the body. Yoga props are encouraged, but not necessary.
In this all-levels vinyasa class, movement is coordinated with the breath as students flow from pose to pose. Modifications and props are offered as options to allow for students of all levels to benefit from the class. In this flowing, dynamic practice, the integrated breath and movement help to build strength, balance and flexibility.
This Vinyasa centered, movement oriented class is suitable for all Yoga practitioners. Asanas (poses) flow from one to another, linked by breath, building deep internal warmth. Class includes pranayama: breath practice, exploration of the Sun Salutation cycle, standing asanas, core integration, forward and back bends, twists, hip openers, deep stretches and final Savasana. Blocks and straps can be useful additions, but are not necessary.
