Vinyasa 1 & 2 Series

***AVAILABLE ONLINE/VIRTUAL***

Vinyasa 1

Vinyasa translates as ‘movement’ or ‘flow’. The traditional Vinyasa movement uses the sequencing of plank/chaturanga, cobra/upward facing dog and downward facing dog- to link postures together. This builds up heat in the body and is part of burning through our samskaras (mental and physical scarring or habits).

Class begins with warming postures and Pranayama (breathing); then moves into the Vinyasa sequences including standing postures, twists, hip openers, and back bending postures.
Class concludes with unwinding postures, gentle/supported inversions and Savasana (corpse pose).

Vinyasa 2

This class is very loosely based on the Ashtanga Half Primary series. We will practice up to Navasana.

There will be a Vinyasa between each pose rather than after each side in the seated postures. There will be 1-2 variations of Janu Sirsasana and Marichyasana rather than the 3-4 variations.

Class will conclude with a modified back bend (or full Urdhva Dhanurasana, if accessible for your body), Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) or Bridge pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana), Savasana and a shortened closing chant.

Level: Beginner to Intermediate (All levels, all ages welcome)
