Yoga Flow
Flow Yoga is a dynamic practice where asanas (yoga postures) are linked together, allowing the practitioner to move fluidly from one pose to the next in harmony with their breath. Each movement is timed with an inhalation or exhalation, creating a continuous, choreographed sequence that cultivates a meditative state. This focus on breath and movement helps practitioners stay present, letting go of distracting thoughts and fully experiencing the moment.
What to Expect
-
Gradual Warm-Up: Classes typically start with gentle movements to prepare the body and mind.
-
Dynamic Sequences: As the session progresses, sequences become more challenging, often including standing poses, balancing postures, inversions, and peak poses.
-
Cool-Down and Stretching: Sessions usually conclude with slower, deeper stretches and floor-based asanas to promote relaxation and recovery.
Flow Yoga creates a sense of strength, ease, and lightness by aligning breath with movement. This approach prevents rushing through poses, encourages mindful transitions, and allows the breath to deepen the expression of each posture.
Meditation and Breathwork
Meditation and pranayama (breathwork) are integral to Flow Yoga, woven into the practice to enhance mental focus and foster freedom from distractions. The breath not only guides the pace of the sequence but also supports deeper exploration of postures.
​
Unique Features
Occasionally, flowing sequences are complemented by longer holds in specific postures, giving practitioners an opportunity to experience both dynamic motion and stillness. This combination of fluid movement and sustained poses creates the distinctive sense of flow that gives Flow Yoga its name.

Heated/ Warm Yoga
Heated or warm yoga is an asana practice performed in a room heated to temperatures up to 26°C (79°F). This practice emphasizes fostering a deep connection between the body and mind. Certain poses are held for extended periods, aiming to build endurance and strength. Participants are advised to bring a towel and water to stay comfortable and hydrated.
Benefits of Heated/Warm Yoga
Heated or warm yoga offers several physical and mental advantages:
-
Enhanced Mobility and Flexibility: The heat helps loosen muscles, allowing for deeper stretches and a greater range of motion.
-
Increased Strength and Mental Focus: The additional challenge of practicing in a heated environment builds physical strength and promotes concentration.
-
Improved Circulation: Warm temperatures support better blood flow and oxygen distribution throughout the body.
Safety Considerations
While heated or warm yoga offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to ensure the practice is safe for you. Always consult your doctor before starting if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
Who Should Avoid Heated/Warm Yoga?
This practice may not be suitable for individuals with the following conditions:
-
Pregnancy
-
Diabetes
-
Heart conditions or other cardiovascular issues, such as high blood pressure
-
Asthma, as heat may worsen symptoms
-
A history of heat intolerance or heat-related injuries
If none of these conditions apply, heated or warm yoga can be a safe and beneficial addition to your fitness routine. Always listen to your body, practice within your limits, and stay hydrated for an enjoyable and effective session.
