Vinyasa Yoga 101 in an introductory 4-week series. It is the perfect place to learn about this flowing style of practice. Vinyasa yoga incorporates smooth, fluid movement that is synchronized with breath. Sometimes referred to as “meditation in motion,” this practice promotes physical strength, flexibility and mental focus.
Taught progressively, using demonstration and discussion, this series emphasizes proper alignment, graceful transitions, and safe modifications. We will learn basic sun salutation sequences, traditional poses, and core integration exercises to strengthen and stretch, both body and mind. Each class will bring focus to yogic breathing, as “ujjayi breath” informs and guides our practice.
We recommend Intro I and/or exposure to yoga asana prior to this series. This series will prepare you for classes on our weekly schedule like Vinyasa Foundations, Vinyasa I, Hatha I, and Hot Hatha Fusion.
Classes are held on Monday evenings from 7:30 – 8:45pm.
