Vinyasa Flow

The flow of the class is dynamic and fluid, allowing practitioners to move with grace and intention from one pose to the next. Transitions are emphasized, encouraging students to maintain mindfulness and presence throughout the practice.
In addition to the dynamic sequences, our Vinyasa Flow class incorporates deep stretches to release tension and improve flexibility. These moments of pause within the flow provide opportunities for practitioners to explore their edge and deepen their practice.
