about the styles of yoga

awareness based flowa slow moving, sometimes still, class which incorporates finding the right alignment for your body/mind in the asana. The flowing sequences build strength in the muscular system, smooth transitions via the nervous system, and freedom in the connective tissues as the movement builds natural warmth in the body. This class celebrates the cultivation of awareness as the highest goal of yoga practices.
