Vinyasa flow yoga is a very popular practice for physical and mental fitness. It is a flowing style of practice incorporating dynamic movement with the breath to improve strength and flexibility and your overall health. A 'vinyasa' means combining movement and breath and is a sequence of movements often used between longer-held poses. The flow helps many to focus the mind. This class will work on understanding that movement, alignment, and technique in poses make it an easier and more relaxing practice despite the dynamic strength and stretch-based exercises. Literally, the relaxing way to shape up.
