Active/Strong Vinyasa Flow Yoga

-

at Mindful Turtle ( 60 Route 25A Setauket, NY 11733)

This is a more vigorous class for which practitioners will want to be comfortable moving through Sun Salutations, bearing weight in the hands, and vinyasa. The word vinyasa means “breath-synchronized” movement, and refers to a carefully arranged sequence of asanas (yoga postures). Movement from one asana to the next follows the breath. The result is a smooth, flowing class that builds heat, endurance, flexibility, strength and concentration. This class includes weight-bearing in the hands through sun salutations, standing postures, kneeling postures, seated postures, and reclined postures, and it is recommended that you transition from seated to standing and standing to seated with ease to attend this type of class.

This class is more energetic and more challenging than our "gentle/slow" and "slow/moderate" classes. Mixed levels, some challenging postures will be offered, with modifications and alternatives suggested to make accessible to each student. Please alert the teacher of any injuries or conditions that may affect your practice.
