VInyasa Yoga with Niko

About the Class

Nikolay Ignatyev teaches a dynamic, detailed, and strengthening style of Vinyasa flow that emphasizes mindful breathing, precise technique, and intentional transitions. His classes are designed to bridge foundational poses with advanced movements to build both strength and presence.   Teaching style: Mindful & Intelligent Movement: His Vinyasa is not just about flexibility; it focuses heavily on strength, focus, and purposeful transitions. Influences & Training: His approach is deeply rooted in his 500-hour certification in the Atmananda Yoga Sequence with Jhon Tamayo and 200-hour training with Sri Dharma Mittra. Philosophy-Driven: Drawing from a background in philosophy and religion, Nikolay incorporates meditation, internal exploration, and a focus on connecting with one's inner being. Alignment-Focused: He emphasizes the importance of proper alignment over simply “pushing” into a pose, often guiding students to soften into positions to maintain structural integrity.
