60 minutes of mindful yoga flow

Hot Vinyasa is a vigorous yoga in which the room is heated to 90 degrees, so your body is warmed, allowing for deeper stretching. The muscles, tendons and ligaments become soft and more flexible. The heat promotes sweating which is a method of cleansing to aid in the healing aspects of this yoga style. Please bring water and a towel.
Level 2 classes are suitable for intermediate students. The basic postures are expanded to include more difficult variations and may be described with less detail. The class will flow at a faster pace and the asanas will be held longer. The classes introduce more advanced breathing techniques and concepts in yogic philosophy including the energetic body.

These classes are Vinyasa based, which offer an energetic, flowing style of yoga that synchronizes movement with the breath. Creative sun-salutations will be used to warm the body and alignment cues will be offered to safely refine individual poses, which include standing, balancing, forward bends and twists, as well as options for inversions, backbends and arm balances. The pace is energetic yet comfortable and instructors offer many modifications and options to move deeper into the poses.

Power, Vinyasa and Flow are all names for a series of poses that link breath with movement. Pranayama or breathing techinque is emphasized in a flow class, so the student may experience the benefits of connecting to the breath and moving with the breath. Breath is said to be the bridge from the mind to the body, the breath then being the doorway to "get out of the head."

Saying that you are not flexible enough for yoga is like saying that you are too dirty to take a bath.
This class is specifically designed to address athletic people's major yoga issues: tight hamstrings and IT bands, stiff lower back and low hip awareness. Todd comes from an athletic background (gymnastics, weightlifting, running and cycling) which rendered him stiff and inflexible. 8 years of practice and 3 years of teaching have given him insight into the inflexible condition. This class will focus on hip awareness and leg flexibility without losing the core and breath foundation critical to a holistic yoga practice. Running, cycling and weightlifting are not contradictory to yoga. A consistent yoga practice will only improve your ability to do these activities.
