Yoga means union, and also union of opposites...effort and ease, strength and flexibility. To find balance in the body, we need both movement and stillness. Flow +Chill is a combination class, starting with a slower paced vinyasa, followed by restorative poses (supported by props).
We will flow for half of class to warm the body up, then take the second part of class to stretch, release tension and dive into a deeper state of chill.
Yoga can help with chronic pain and injury recovery like a physical therapist for your body. It can help reduce pain and stiffness, improve flexibility, and increase strength. Plus, it's a lot more fun than going to physical therapy all day.
Breathing in yoga is like the fuel that powers your practice - it keeps you going and helps you get the most out of each pose. It also helps you stay calm and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.
Hatha and Vinyasa yoga are like two sides of the same coin - they both incorporate physical postures, but they have different approaches. Hatha yoga is slower and more static, focusing on holding each pose for longer periods of time, while Vinyasa yoga is more fluid and dynamic, with a focus on linking breath and movement.
Breathwork in yoga is like the secret sauce - it takes your practice to the next level. It helps you stay present, calm, and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.
Yoga is like a full-course meal, while stretching is like a quick snack. Yoga incorporates breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, while stretching is more focused on the physical aspect of flexibility and range of motion.
