Vinyasa Essentials

What is a vinyasa?

The word vinyasa comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. It means "to move in a special way" or "to place in a special way”. Vinyasas are a smooth transition between poses, often with the movement paired with the breath.

This class is designed to help you build a strong foundation in vinyasa yoga. We will start by learning the classic movements of the Sun Salutations, and then we will practice executing them with proper form and alignment. We will also learn how to transition through the Sun Salutations to link movement and poses with fluidity. Begin to build confidence in your ability to build vinyasa in your practice.

This class is a perfect prequel to Thursday's Vigorous Vinyasa Flow class at 5:35 pm.
