Vinyasa Flow Yoga connects movement with the breath to create a continuous “flow” of poses.  This smooth, rhythmic sequence strengthens the joints, tones the muscles, increases flexibility, improves balance, sharpens coordination, and enhances mobility.  All poses can be modified to suit your physical limitations.  Students experience advanced meditation practices to not only relax the mind and body, but to also transcend into a higher spiritual level. No yoga experience necessary.
