Our signature yoga class, this Hatha based class is a more traditional way of practicing yoga, with posture holds of various lengths, and a focus on breath and physical alignment. If you are brand new to yoga, we recommend starting with our Gentle Yoga classes first before moving to our Balance class.
-
Grounding flow/vinyasa practice that includes fluid transitions from pose to pose linking breath to movement.
We offer three options for Flow classes - Flow 1, Flow 1-2 and Flow 2.
If you are new to yoga, we recommend you take several Gentle and Balance classes before trying our Flow 1 class.
Our Flow 1-2 class blends the mindful pace of Flow 1 with the added challenge of more complex movement patterns and transitions seen in our Flow 2 class. This class is ideal if you are ready to move beyond the basics of Flow 1 but not quite ready for the intensity of Flow 2. Some yoga experience recommended.
Our Flow 2 class is a more energizing practice than Flow 1 or Flow 1-2 class. Inversions, arm balances, and deeper backbends will be offered. This class is recommended for more experienced students.
