Yoga classes, in general, are divided into: 👉𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 – more grounding and longer hold 👉𝗩𝗶𝗻𝘆𝗮𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 – more movements and dynamic

While sometimes it’s useful to treat them as separate modalities to honor their unique traits and identities, alignment (or Hatha) and Vinyasa work very well together.

This practice combines the alignment intentions in traditional Hatha poses while maintaining the fluidity of a Vinyasa flow practice.

• Stability has to come before freedom. Engaging with our alignment in poses enables us to flow gracefully and skillfully.

• In a Vinyasa class we need to let go of teaching techniques to not disrupt the flow. But in this movement-based class students can still learn skills and techniques through alignment and anatomy cues so they can progress and achieve some more challenging poses like arm balances.

Whether you want to build more strength and stability in your flow practice or want to be able to build more fluidity and movements in your grounding practice, this class “𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗣” between the two.
