Ideal class for physically active students new to yoga and intermediate yoga students familiar with poses.

SETTING: Room temperature. No hands on assists. Music is often louder and contains lyrics, functioning as a tool to build momentum and motivation.

"Vinyasa" is a Sanskrit term translating to "to place in a special way". "Vi" meaning "special" and "nyasa" meaning "to place." Variations are offered, and props are utilized; however less verbal instruction is available due to the pace. This class best suited to those familiar with yoga poses, and those who are comfortable quickly moving their bodies.
