Dive Deeply, Forrest Yoga

This Forrest yoga class will be using pranayama (breath), asanas (poses), inversions, and salutations (linking breath to movement). The class will conclude in a relaxing and refreshing savasana (resting pose). This opportunity to extend your practice through the weekend can guide you in concluding one week, and preparing for the next one!

Flow Yoga, Basics
For the beginning yoga student or for those who want to develop a yoga
practice, this class emphasizes linking breath to movement and building from
one posture to the next, stretching and strengthening your whole body.
Flow Yoga is often referred to as Vinyasa-Flow. Vinyasa is actually a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement.” In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance.

Flow Yoga, Beyond Beginner
