A vinyasa yoga practice is a practice of fluidic movement between postures, guided by and linked through breath. There is both movement and states of stillness in this practice, as it incorporates the mimicking of floor to standing poses, and standing to floor poses to enhance and strengthen a desired peak pose or source of energy. The Vinyasa Flow Classes on this page are accessible to those who are familiar and comfortable with our Foundations Classes.
Please note that in any yoga class, all poses and movements are optional and you are encouraged to listen to your body and opt out of any pose or movement that is not suitable for you. If you have any health or mobility issues, please check with your healthcare provider before beginning a yoga practice.
