Intro to Vinyasa Vinyasa yoga is similar to Ashtan- ga, but plays with a variety of posture sequences. We will begin with sun salutations, breath work and basic closing/ relaxation postures and gradually add more strengthen- ing, dynamic and complex pos- tures as students become more comfortable with vinyasa (flowing from posture to posture). Instructor: Sky Hellyar #37859 Tues, Apr 7 - June 16 6 - 7:15 pm Lewis Centre $88/11 Mixed Level Vinyasa Different flows each week will challenge your body, focus your mind, and soothe your spirit. Variations given for all levels, from confident beginner on up! Some previous yoga experience recommended.

This class will move slowly, giving time to explore and modify as we go. The ‘joint releasing series’ can be used alone as a gentle practice or as a warm up for other activities.
