About Flow Yoga
Flow yoga is a style of yoga that combines movement with breath, in fluid sequences. Based on the ancient tradition of Hatha Yoga and the teachings of Krishnamacharya (Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and scholar), it is like a dance at times, helping us to direct energy (prana) to specific areas of the mind and body.
The yoga that we teach is healing, non-judgemental and inclusive of all ages and fitness levels. It allows you to be completely yourself, helping you to re-discover the ways to move through life.
Dynamic flow classes involve a series of energising sequences that combine basic and advanced postures (asanas). Classes focus on stretching, breathing and strengthening muscles, to allow us to feel strong and radiant.
Slow flow classes include a series of gentle sequences and asanas that are held for greater lengths of time. These help calm our nervous systems, working deep into our skeletal structure to release stress, making us feel lighter and more relaxed.
