Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Fitness - Non-Water | Available (Membership Required)
Vinyasa Yoga is a common style of yoga practice in Western Culture. This type of yoga links postures from one to next, guided by the use of the breath. Postures and sequences vary from class to class. Benefits of regular Vinyasa yoga practice may include increased strength, flexibility, overall fitness and reduced feelings of stress.
Modifications can be made during practice, but participants should be in relatively good health and be able to move between the mat and standing postures.
Please dress comfortably and bring a mat and water. You may also bring along your own blocks, towels, straps or any other items to support your practice.
