vinyasa flow yoga

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic, creative, fluid form of yoga in which flowing movements are co-ordinated with breathing. With regular practice, synchronising movement and breath becomes effortless, rhythmic and meditative. In my classes you will work on both flexibility AND strength through a range of traditional and modern poses - and explore the transitions between the poses - including a variety of weight bearing poses like downward dog, plank, plank variations and arm balances. The Sanskrit word Vinyasa means ‘to place in a special way’ and refers to the practitioners skill in moving gracefully, synchronising movement with breath, and cultivating awareness of Body, Breath, Mind & Spirit. My classes include conscious breathing, relaxation and meditation with a light sprinkling of yoga philosophy.
