Vinyasa (II / III)

Practiced in a room maintained at 95° – 100° Fahrenheit, this challenging sequence of poses helps to build strength, flexibility, endurance and body awareness.

Vinyasa is a dynamic type of yoga that links breath with movement and follows a progressive flow of one posture to the next. Sequences may consist of sun salutations, forward bends, backbends, twists, inversions and arm balances.

Prior yoga experience is highly recommended for this class, as it is led at a quicker pace and may include intermediate to advanced level poses.
