TriYoga Flows (Prasara), a complete hatha yoga method, is the union of posture, breath and focus - or asana, pranayama and mudra. TriYoga fundamentals include relaxation-in-action, wave-like spinal movements and economy of motion. With the systematic approach, students can remain with Basics or progress to subsequent levels. Within each level, students increase their knowledge of posture and flow, as well as strength, flexibility, endurance and breath control. Through sustained awareness on all aspects of the practice, the movement of body, breath and mudra harmonize and the inner flow naturally emerges. The breath becomes even and rhythmical, the mind focused and calm. This naturally creates a harmonious inner state, the firm foundation of meditation. Triyoga Classes focus on the TriYoga flows and conclude with deep relaxation, rhytmic breathing, concentration and meditation. Each part is integral to the practice. Each Level Corresponds to the Chakra System. Level 1 Earth, Level 2 Water and so on. Within each level there are "versions." Level 1 series 1 is Earth/Earth. Level 1 Series 2 is Earth/Water and so on. Level 2 Series 1 is Water/Earth. Each Version has a season. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. All designed for a balanced practice.

This class is designed to invig­o­rate and strengthen stu­dents with some advanced pos­tures, while still stay­ing accessible. Taste the inspirational energy of practicing in this dynamic class heated to 80 degrees and hotter.
