Learn the Art of Vinyasa Flow

We draw our training on the essential teachings given by Krishnamacharya,  where the practice of Asanas should be done in an Intelligent way known as Vinyasa Krama.  We will use the breath and body to integrate the mind and adapt the body towards a state of flow and inner stillness within that flow. 
​
Within each moment, there is an intelligent way of transitioning, the breath, the mind, the gaze and the movement are all linked to one another bringing awareness to the mind, bringing a symphony of union.​

​​If you are lifting your arms up, to become fully aware that you are lifting your arms up, observe and feel every inch of it.

​Bring your undivided attention, your awareness without judgement, without modification.   

In yoga, the body, breath and the mind are all united. It is slow motion, like a dance, leading from one posture to another, from one breath to another.​
