Held in a room heated to between 80-84 degrees, this flow style of yoga synchronizes breath with movement. Each class will have a physical and mindful theme that will be threaded through the sequencing. Beginning pranayama work included. Suitable for all levels.

* Vinyasa for All Levels

75 minutes. A strong, vigorous vinyasa flow held in a warm (84 degree) room. Sequencing and challenge level is appropriate for beginners and the more experienced yogi. Challenging but accessible postures build strength, endurance, and flexibility, but are at the same time mentally relaxing. Suggestions for those who want to intensify their practice as well as modifications and props for those who are newer, make this class appropriate for all.
