Vinyasa Yoga
The vinyasa yoga class focuses on both the poses and the transitions between them. The poses follow each other as pearls on a string, in a flow. The sequence is without pauses between the poses, which give a thorough work out and raises the temperature. The starting point is often a variation of the sun salutation, which is then developed further. There may be some light chanting and spiritual readings throughout, with a time for rest and reflection at the end.

Yinyasa
Yin/Vinyasa is a blend of the essential principles of Astanga, Iyengar, and Viniyoga. A slower paced vinyasa, the pace is mindful and intelligent, this makes the yoga safe, aligned ,and beneficial. The yin portion follows the vinyasa, so you get two great practices which address the areas of the body that require attention and the natural healing abilities of the Body.
