Flow Yoga : Based on Astanga yoga, this series of postures increases
your flexibility, balance, overall strength, and mindfullness. Using controlled
breathing (ujjayi pranayama), engaging your core muscles (bandhas), focusing
your gaze, (dhristi), and practicing strong flowing movements, (vinyasa),
you'll create heat allowing your body to stretch. We vary the poses from
class to class, creating a balance of forward bending, backbending and twisting
postures. When you finish this class you'll feel as though you've had a
massage from the inside out. It is a complete mind and body workout that
develops concentration and reduces stress. Great for athletes with tight
muscles!. Be prepared to sweat! Level: Those in good physical
