Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and fluid style of yoga that synchronizes breath with movement to create a continuous flow of postures. It is characterized by a smooth and seamless transition between poses, creating a dance-like sequence that is both energizing and meditative. Here are key aspects that define Vinyasa Flow Yoga:

  1. Breath-Centered Movement:
    • Vinyasa Flow places a strong emphasis on linking breath with movement. Each posture is accompanied by a specific breath, typically using Ujjayi breath, a deep and audible breath that helps create heat and internal focus.
  2. Continuous Flow:
    • Poses flow smoothly from one to another, with the movements coordinated with inhales and exhales. This constant motion helps build strength, flexibility, and balance.
  3. Creative Sequencing:
    • Vinyasa Flow classes often feature creative and varied sequences of poses. The sequencing may be inspired by traditional yoga asanas but allows for innovation and personal expression by the instructor.
  4. Varying Intensity Levels:
    • Classes can be adapted for different levels of practitioners, from beginners to advanced. The pace and complexity of the sequences may vary, allowing practitioners to choose the level of challenge that suits them.
  5. Core Engagement:
    • Many Vinyasa Flow poses engage the core muscles, promoting strength and stability throughout the practice. Core work is often integrated seamlessly into the flow of postures.
  6. Balancing Poses:
    • The practice includes a mix of standing, seated, and balancing poses. These poses enhance overall body awareness, improve concentration, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness.
  7. Mindful Transitions:
    • Mindfulness is encouraged during transitions between poses. Practitioners are invited to stay present, connecting the mind with the breath and the body throughout the entire practice.
  8. Adaptability:
    • Vinyasa Flow is adaptable and allows for modifications to accommodate different body types, injuries, or levels of experience. Teachers may offer variations of poses to suit individual needs.
  9. Benefits:
    • Regular practice of Vinyasa Flow Yoga can lead to increased flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It also promotes mental clarity, stress reduction, and a heightened sense of well-being.
  10. Incorporation of Music:
    • Some Vinyasa Flow classes incorporate music to enhance the overall experience and rhythm of the practice. The choice of music can vary, ranging from calming tunes to more upbeat and energetic tracks.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga offers a dynamic and expressive approach to yoga, encouraging practitioners to explore movement, breath, and mindfulness in a harmonious and uplifting way.

Every morning is dedicated to Ashtanga practice, and in the evenings, we offer a variety of disciplines from different yoga methods to meet the diverse needs of practitioners in the area.

Years of experience support us, and we take pride in the fact that many of our teachers and attendees have been trained in Ashtanga here at our studio. This, in essence, ensures that our teaching is consistent and well-directed toward the correct method.

We also emphasize that we have a very specific teaching style aligned with the tradition of Ashtanga as taught in India, the birthplace where this method was systematized. Considering ourselves pioneers of this practice in the city is a blessing, and it is a great responsibility and commitment on our part to continue instilling the path of yoga, which brings numerous benefits to our physical and biological bodies, minds, moods, and spirits.

We have a strong community that supports us, and individuals with or without experience are welcome. We hope to see you at the studio!
