As the title indicates this class is in a heated room, 105 degrees to be exact. It is an appropriate class for beginners to more advanced practitioners. It is a holistic practice, sequencing postures to bring attention to the muscles, ligaments, bones, fascia, internal organs, circulation, lymphatic system, endocrine system, nervous system, skin and breath! Many people who begin a yoga practice may not believe they are strong or flexible enough, or cannot relax and meditate, this is exactly why you would take up this particular practice. The heat offers more supple muscles to aid in flexibility, and the repetition of the same 26 postures builds strength and focus, helping the mind to settle and find inner peace. Book ending the practice with breathing exercises prepares the body and mind for the final Savasana!

Kripalu Flow class begins with centering, to release daily worries and find presence. Attention turns to the breath to focus the mind and benefit from the flow of prana, or energy. Through verbal description and physical demonstration, students are guided in movements with breath that awaken and warm the body. As the body warms, postures become more in-depth and modifications are offered. During each class emphasis is placed on alignment, safety and stability in each pose. Additionally, authentic, heartfelt and humorous insights are offered into the deeper understanding of the yogic practice and how it can affect the mind, body and spirit simultaneously. Each class ends with a savasana, a deep relaxation, where students rest comfortably and find inner quiet.

Vinyasa is the movement of the body through asanas or postures paired with the breath. It invigorates the body, and offers movements our daily lives rarely incorporate. With the intention on the breath leading the flow of the class the postures may vary from class to class, focusing on particular areas of the body and the creativity of the teacher. One day the focus is for hip openers, another day the focus is on detoxifying with spine twists, other times it may offer inversions to feed the brain with fresh oxygen. Come and discover the playful practice of a Vinyasa Flow class.
