Vinyasa Flow
In the modern yoga world the term vinyasa is often synonymous with the movement pattern: plank-chaturanga- updog-downdog. However the definition of vinyasa is much broader than one movement pattern. This series works with the idea that vinyasa means "to place in a special way" or "coordinated breath and movement system". My unique take includes a strong emphasis on core integrations and moving the spine in all the ways, rather than just focusing on extension or "backbends". Expect to work on the foundational patterns necessary to execute plank or back bend well, standing and balance poses. Each sequence is crafted with a theme, movement pattern and/ or anatomical focus in mind. Starting simply and building in complexity and fluidity for a final peak flow.
