Intro to Flow Series
November 5, 2016 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Intro to Flow Series with Amanda Webster, ERYT-500
Dates: Saturday, November 5th and December 3rd
Time: 12:30-2:30
Fees: $35 for both OR $20/workshop
We often think of Vinyasa or Flow classes as being faster or more intense than a Hatha or Basics class, and while that may sometimes be true, at their essence, Flow classes teach you to maintain an attentive, centered mind-state while transitioning from one point in time to the next, which is called Vinyasa Krama: “To link together with attention and care in a way that mimics nature”. It teaches us to maintain the steadiness and ease we've established in the stillness of a single pose as we transition from one pose to the next in a breath-centric way…it helps us train the mind and body to roll with the waves of life even in moments of chaos or stress.
In these workshops, apply your understanding of alignment principles and breathing techniques as we gently and fluidly transition from one asana to the next in a meditative, rhythmic flow. We will break down common sequences into layers, such as plank to cobra to downward facing dog. Find a layer that works for you and figure out how to accommodate injuries in your body and prevent other injuries from occurring; there will be an emphasis on protecting the joints and using the core! Each class will begin with a 45- or 60-minute breakdown of poses and transition then segue into a flow practice.
These workshops are a continuation of the knowledge established in our Beginner's Series and will eliminate any intimidation or satisfy any curiosity you may have about taking the next step into a Flow-based practice. This is also a great way to refresh your existing vinyasa practice!
