Bringing the body into dynamics and stretching the muscles through active yoga practice is what helps us gain more energy and then find balance with our environment.
This dynamic is inherent in the yogic lineage of our Indian master, Vasu. Vasu has 25 years of experience in yogic practice, and he brings great energy and harmony to Lumos' afternoon groups.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga synchronizes breath and movement, which in turn creates an inner warmth and cleanses and opens all blocked areas with a flow of energy.
Vinyasa, also known as Vinyasa flow, involves a continuous, flowing transition from one posture to another. It represents a very powerful flow of energy in Sun Salutations.
The word vinyasa can be translated as 'to arrange/arrange something in a special way'. Vinyasa is the opposite of hatha.
Yoga classes focus on one pose at a time, with breaks in between. In contrast, Vinyasa classes are a continuous sequence of poses. Students coordinate movement from one pose to the next with their breath.
