This hour long practice will move you through a powerful, vigorous vinyasa based on the teachings of Baron Baptiste. Get in, get your flow on, and get on with the rest of your day. Great for an early morning practice, lunch break or when you don't have the time for a 90 minute practice. This flow is powerful!

In Strength & Surrender you will build on the elements established in Foundation & Form with an increased focus on movement. You will be guided through a more vigorous series of yoga postures, where we begin to transition between postures with synchronized breath. This class will still include some static postures and it will begin to integrate flow to help you to increase your stamina, flexibility, strength and improve your balance with more standing postures. Meditation, guided imagery and relaxation will be incorporated to facilitate surrender, support deep relaxation and help you feel rejuvenated. Basic, intermediate and some more advanced variations of the postures will be provided with a focus on proper breathing and safe alignment. Participants will leave this class feeling more balanced, recharged, and relaxed. This class is suitable for students who have had prior yoga experience as it moves more quickly than Foundation and Form and requires a little more physical endurance. Students who are new to the practice will be encouraged to rest as often as needed throughout this or any class.
