In a Vinyasa Yoga class, teachers put their own spin on sequences, linking them together for what we call a “flow” in yoga – when one pose moves to the next, synchronized to the breath. Because there’s no standard sequence (like in Ashtanga for example), classes can vary greatly from teacher to teacher and from class to class. Variety is one of the things that makes Vinyasa Yoga appealing to many students. Classes might focus on:

A peak posture, like poses that work up to and then include tree pose, for example
A body part, like a class that really zeroes in on hip openers
A philosophy in yoga, like the vayus, the vital energies that circulate in the body

Types of Vinyasa Classes

Slow Flow: This is a mindful, slower-paced yoga class that incorporates conscious flowing of breath with movement of the body. Each Slow Flow class is a little bit different, but generally, you will build strength through slow, focused movements, and increase flexibility and range of motion via flowing movements and deep stretching. Slow Flow generally includes foundational yoga poses and sun salutations, attention to detail on breath and alignment, and some long holds for strength.

Vayu Vinyasa Yoga: Vayu Vinyasa is inspired from Indo-Tibetan Yoga and explores the five Vayus (or energetic winds) that govern different areas of the body with their own subtle yet distinct energetic qualities, functions, and directions of flow. Each class focuses on one or more Vayu to bring more conscious control and cultivation to create optimal health and well-being and activate the primordial Kundalini energy within.

Vinyasa Yoga: Our general Vinyasa classes synchronize breath to movement and are loosely based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa system. Each class is accompanied by music with intricate flows, inversions, and backbends. Each teacher puts their own spin on it.

Fire Flow Yoga: Fire Flow is a dynamic yoga experience that challenges you to find balance between the polarities of strength and surrender, effort and softness, heat and release. This class is designed to purify the spirit, mind, and body through creative sequencing that builds inner heat to burn away stagnant energy. This class is recommended for intermediate and advanced levels of experience and could be compared to a “power yoga” class.
