Beginner Vinyasa Flow

A yoga class dedicated to the foot.
The therapeutic benefits of Hatha yoga arise from whole body energetic balancing combined with distinct biomechanical adjustments. In Class, we will focus on the plantar fascia of the foot and examine the most common cause of heel pain—plantar fasciitis—to see what happens when things go wrong. Finally, we will consider how yoga can be used to bring things back into balance and even to prevent this condition from happening in the first place.

Beginner Vinyasa Flow introduces the basics of Vinyasa for those new to Yoga, or with no experience with Vinyasa. This class will acquaint students with the fundamental poses (asanas), focusing on breathing techniques (pranayama) and alignment principles that build a solid foundation, endurance and suppleness. All classes will be open and adapted as needed. We will explore sun salutations as a method of building heat and linking poses. Strength, alignment and stress reduction develop through appropriate modifications and practice. No prior yoga experience is required.
