Power Flow Yoga
Our Power Flow Yoga class is a 90-minute practice. It is directed
at creating energy, vitality and
freedom within the atmosphere conducive to our natural growth. We work
on our bodies sensitively that heals and honors each individual. Power
Flow Yoga let us respect our boundaries and works within him or her,
not
against it.
The course is an eclectic mix of Ashtanga, Hot, and Power Yoga designed
to offer a vigorous, cardiovascular yoga practice. We begin in a heated
room (approximately 85 degrees) in order to relax and stretch the
muscles, prevent injury, and aid in detoxification. The external heat
works in combination with the internal flame generated through vigorous
movement and breath, which serves to thin the blood and cleanse the
body. We open the class with restorative postures and Pranayama
breathing exercises in order to center our practice and remove the
pressures of external circumstances and set our intention for the
class. We then move into a cardiovascular sequence of postures to
create an internal flame and promote detoxification. We continue
through a series of standing and balance postures, seated forward bends
and back bends, as well as inversions, always focusing on alignment,
consciousness, and intention.
Overall, the course serves to build strength, stamina, flexibility, and
balance. We end the class with Savasana (a guided meditation using
corpse pose). Sequences change from class-to-class with the
substitution of new and various postures, while maintaining consistency
through a core sequence grounded in Surya Namaskara A and B
(Salutations to the Sun). All of our courses encourage you to take
advantage of the physical as well as the spiritual benefits of yoga by
seeing the physical as an opportunity to experience a connection to a
greater universal consciousness.
