The Vinyasa yoga class draws from the traditional Iyengar and Ashtanga lineages to create a yoga sequence that evokes a meditative experience through flowing movement.  The downward dog pose is a staple of the class, which is a part of the actual vinyasa movement that flows through several postures at once.  This vinyasa movement is the foundation of the class, but at the same time every class you take will be a little bit different.  The instructor decides which postures to include in any given class based on both the goals of the class and the particular students in attendance.

Vinyasa classes differ from our other classes in that they involve much more movement.  While our other classes focuse on moving into a posture and holding it for awhile, the vinyasa classes tend to flow through multiple postures in sequence.  Classes labeled as “Intermediate” are heated to between 85 to 90 degrees, and “Hot Vinyasa” classes are heated to between 90 and 95 degrees.  All other Vinyasa classes are unheated. 

Keep in mind that the vinyasa movement will involve placing some weight on your wrists against the floor (as you can see in the picture at the top of this page), so if this is not something you can do we’d recommend trying one of our other classes.
