Vinyasa Yoga Flow

Vinyasa Yoga flow is a level two sequence, enriched with breath and clean alignment, where movement is synchronized to the breath. The breath becomes an important component because the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. Vinyasa is literally translated from Sanskrit as meaning "connection," In terms of yoga asana, we can interpret this as a connection between movement and breath. 

A cat-cow stretch is an example of a very simple vinyasa, because the spine is arched on an inhale and rounded on an exhale.

A sun salutation sequence is an example of a more complex vinyasa. Each movement in the series is done on an inhalation or an exhalation.

What to Expect
This style allows for a lot of variety, but will almost certainly include sun salutations. Expect movement, not just stretching.The standing sequence is full of deep hip openers, including bird of paradise and flying pigeon arm balance. You can also expect core work, several backbends and meditation and savasana.  Practicing a set sequence allows students to track their progress and to always know exactly what they are walking into, even if they are not familiar with the teacher.  Beginners can take this practice, resting when they need to, and those with more experience can always up the intensity. Whichever level you are in we are here to guide, inspire and support.

Gentle yoga flow is appropriate for students who enjoy and desire a slower paced yoga practice. Gentle yoga classes allow the student to relax with gentle stretches and flow, increases flexibility, joint function and build strength.

Yoga Nidra "yogic sleep"
Stress is the biggest problem of modern life. We carry tensions both within the physical body and on even deeper levels in the subtle bodies which we are not even aware of. While physical tension can be eased by stretching, exercise or massage, subtle tensions are difficult to recognize and even harder to release.  Yoga Nidra is a unique method that goes below surface tensions to release and transform stress at its deepest level.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient sleep based meditation using breath, visualization and physical techniques. During this 30 – 40 minute practice you will be guided into a deep state of complete relaxation, where you can disengage from all thoughts, worry and tension to find complete peace and stillness. Yoga Nidra is practiced in a comfortable lying down position. You are guided through a series of breathing exercises and simple instructions.  It is said that 40 minutes of yoga Nidra is as restorative as 3 hours of sleep. In our modern culture, yoga Nidra can bring many restorative benefits to the body and balancing benefits to the mind.

Yoga Nidra provides relief from many conditions such as sleep disorders, stress, anxiety, pain, and self-defeating patterns of behavior. Following Yoga Nidra, practitioners find overall mood is improved; there is a sense of calmness, along with increased mental clarity and creativity. 

Yoga Nidra empowers you to go into deep states of relaxation, access the seed of karma, and resolve it by burning the seed. It has the potential to heal past traumatic interpersonal relationships, empowering you to release your vital energy held hostage by blame, anger, guilt, jealousy, hatred, fear, and attachment. 

The connection to your source for self-healing and personal growth is always present within you. Yoga Nidra is the master key for self-transformation. It can be used to initiate the power of the soul and to turn your hidden, inner potentiality into reality

Guided Yoga Nidra is an effortless practice and suitable for anyone who wishes to experience deep rest and relaxation, and awaken to the infinite potential that lies within. It can be taken as a stand-alone practice, or directly following a more active class. Everyone is welcome!

New to Yoga?
Practicing is a lifelong process that will evolve as will your power, strength and flexibility. Give yourself enough space to grow and time to learn. Take it easy on yourself and trust your body.

Think you are not flexible?
First time students are concerned about not being flexible or lacking strength. You don’t need to be strong or flexible. All you need is to be present and mentally flexible, everything else follows. We learn so much from our yoga poses because it allows us to notice which areas we are weak and require strength and when we accept those weaknesses we work through them instead of running from them. You will be very glad when you let go and just allow your body to go with the flow and so will your mind.

Feeling unease or fear?
Yoga is like anything else you do for the first time in life like swimming, riding a bike, driving, etc. The wonderful thing about Yoga is that you can start from where you are, from your own pace, you take it as far as you want to. We never pressure anyone to do something or anything. Take it at your pace, it’s your yoga! 

What’s needed?
We have mats for rent $2.00 at our studio, it is highly recommended for hygiene or saucha (Sanskrit for purity, cleanliness) that you bring your own mat. We sell a variety of mats at the studio for your convenience. Bring water and a towel. Both are also available for purchase/rent.

What to wear?
Comfortable, light weight clothes that you can move freely and workout in. Be prepared to yoga barefoot.
