Vinyasa Flow
Dynamic yoga...
In this class, the movements follow on from each other in a fluid manner: a series of postures, which follow on from each other in a sequence (flow). There is a breath for each movement. This combination of breath and movement enables the senses to be abstracted, a particular form of self-presence.
Course of a class
The sequence of postures (Asanas) seeks to integrate 2 simultaneous qualities:
firmness/stability,
well-being/letting go.
This type of class is a modern version of Patabi Jois' Ashtanga Yoga, more rigid and codified.
Basic
Learn the basics of vinyasa, chained asana in movement.
Build the foundations to achieve the sequences: a breath, a pose.
Breaking down the asanas over longer periods and more extensive explanations.
class protocol:
Salutation to the sun
