"Vinyasa" means "linking" which in this context means that the poses are linked together in a flowing sequence, the movement is linked with the breath and the mind, body, and spirit are linked as a whole. It is a creative and intelligent flow style with an emphasis on alignment and safety. Descriptive cueing and hands-on assists are skilfully interwoven into the practice to allow students to correct their own alignment, understand the mechanics of each pose and safely deepen their practice. The atmosphere created in classes is focussed, meditative and joyful. Vinyasa Flow is perfectly suited to all levels of practice so no matter where you start it is always possible to make your body feel and move better.
