Each short flow is a low impact workout for the entire body that builds strength and flexibility; helping you grow whole body awareness and develop a moving meditation through breath and movement. In each class we move dynamically and functionally through postures and stretches, using your bodyweight and shorter holds to strengthen and tone, and core work to build strength and heat in the body. Suitable for all, the classes grow progressively more advanced to create a challenging series for beginner and experienced yogi alike. This low impact series is short and effective, and requires only a yoga mat, making it easy to fit around your schedule. Although ideally practiced first thing, the classes are beneficial practiced at any time of day, and in any order.
