Description
This is an intro to "flow" or "vinyasa" yoga course.
Vinyasa means movement linked to breath.
Students will learn a basic and yet effective yoga sequence with classical yoga postures.
Asana means posture or pose.
I broke the course into small sections with short videos - so you can pick and choose which sections you like to do each day and also for easier learning.
Students may mix and match the sequence to suit their own individual needs.
The practice will honor where you are each day.
You can mix and match the different parts of the course.
At the end of the course you will find a full one hour class where you can join us for the entire practice - which I recommend you do on days you can dedicate a full hour for yoga.
Before you begin any new form of physical exercise always consult your Doctor and be sure this yoga style is right for you.
Yoga teaches us that there is no separation we are all one.
We know that energy cannot be destroyed but it can be transformed. Vinyasa flow yoga encourages the flow of "prana" "life force" through the breath and through the practice of movement linked to breath - like a moving meditation - we learn to release, to let go, of that which no longer serves us. The practice teaches us to create space for the new - moving away any stagnation. Transforming us into a higher version of ourselves for optimal health and happiness.
This is a practice of love and radical acceptance.
