Flow Yoga

Focuses on the combination of movement with breathing. It is a type of Vinyasa Yoga where asanas flow quickly and fluidly, and is a physically demanding class. It stresses awareness of the body, its strength and flexibility. It’s one of the most popular yoga types in Europe and America.

The following is an explanation of some common terms:

Ujjayi breath – during practice we breathe through our nose, using a special breathing technique that additionally warms and detoxifies the body.
Vinyasa – “nyasa” means “to move, “vi” means “in a special manner”. It’s a flowing, free movement.
Yoga – means the unification, connection of diverse principles.
Om – is a mantra (sound) representing the universe. It calms the body and the spirit.
Bandha – is an energy barrier created by contracting our muscles.

Classes will be at two levels: the aim of Flow I is to achieve precision and the correct alignment of the students, and to serve as preparation for the second level, Flow II and some will be open for all levels.
