Sun Spirit Yoga

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is all about the flow of breath to movement. For each inhale and exhale, we move into a new pose. This type of flow brings grace, muscle tone, and focus to your practice.

 

At the beginning of each flow sequence, we break down the posture so that you are setting up your foundation properly in an effort to reduce injury. Since yoga is a repetitive practice, finding the correct postures ensures freedom of movement.

 

We flow through Sun Salutations, do some core work (which is truly the foundation of yoga and your posture in everyday life), and do lots of stretching to increase flexibility and allow the muscles room to grow. Yoga also builds strong bones because you are using your own weight to move into postures.

 

Vinyasa Flow yoga is for every age and fitness level because it can be modified to accommodate what YOUR body needs. Whether you are 5 or 105, you can benefit from the practice of yoga. 

The Flow
