Gentle Flow Yoga
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Gentle flow is a yoga practice that
keeps the movements between
postures simple and slow. This class
is designed for beginning students
as well as practiced yogis looking for
a slower paced practice. We move
through traditional postures to warm
muscles and explore the range of
motion in our joints, moving into gentle
strengthening postures and ending
class with both deep stretches and
restorative postures so that we go
home feeling good. We will move from
floor postures to standing, students
must be able to bear weight on knees
and wrists. We can modify postures
to fit the needs of individual students.
Please inform the instructor of illness,
injury or physical conditions that might
impact your practice. Please bring a
yoga mat to class
Vinyasa flow is a style of yoga in which traditional yoga postures are connected
with graceful movements, and each movement is connected to our breath. This is
a vigorous class with sequences to build strength and lengthen muscles. Designed
to meet the needs of students familiar with the basic postures of yoga and those
interested in exploring a larger range of posture options. This is a multi-level
class; variations will be recommended to accommodate for variations of strength,
flexibility, balance, and personal interest in exploring new or challenging poses.
Healthy, happy, and feeling good—join us if that is your goal.
