Vinyasa means to link movement with breath and intention or to
arrange and place in a special way. Shanti Yoga Shala’s Vinyasa
Yoga classes offer fun, vigorous and energetic asana (pose)
sequences taught in a flow-style, inter-linking poses through a
series of movements to encourage strength and flexibility, while
enhancing respiration, circulation and lymphatic flow helping to
heat the muscles and connective tissue and detoxify the body.
Music, chanting, philosophy, mediation and Yin (passive) poses to
help release stress and tension and leave you feeling calm,
energized and empowered are incorporated into each class.
In these all levels classes variations will be offered to help
accommodate all levels of practitioners. Some experience with Sun
Salutes suggested but not required. The class is called “All
Levels” because it is open and suitable to all levels of
practitioner. Even so, beginning level students should know that
there will not be much detailed “how to do” descriptions; for that
a student is advised to attend a Beginner Vinyasa
Class.
Because Vinyasa Yoga does not have only one Guru (teacher) each of
our Vinyasa Yoga teachers brings their own background, teachers and
experiences to their classes. Please visit the teachers’ page to
learn about each teacher's inspirations for teaching.
