slow flow yoga

In a typical Slow Flow class, you will practice about half the number of poses you might practice in a Flow class. The pace is meditative, emphasizing peace and calm in body and mind. We hold poses longer, taking several rounds of breath in each pose, instead of moving to each breath. Because of this, Slow Flow is a less intimidating experience for those newer to yoga and those who are nursing injuries. But don’t mistake Slow Flow for “easy” or “gentle” Flow. Although stretching is often emphasized in Slow Flow, there is plenty of room to work strength in the longer holds. If you have a busy mind and moving slowly is a challenge for you, these classes may be challenging for you. But, this is one of the main reasons we practice yoga. We all need to find moments to slow down and experience some calm in our lives. These classes provide that opportunity. Slow Flow is accessible to occasional yogis and people who are newer to yoga.
SCHEDULE
60 Minute or 75 Minute Classes 

This is a Flow class that moves a little more slowly and holds poses for a while longer. Although the room temperature is still warm, these classes are not as hot as the Flow classes. They are deep, mindful sequences of poses that help to focus and calm you. Because of the slower pace, some find these classes more accessible than our Flow classes. Expect to feel calm and rejuvenated at the end of class.

60 Minute or 75 Minute Classes 

Like our standard Slow Flow classes, the pace is slower. Many poses are practiced lying down or seated. This class emphasizes stretching over strengthening and is taught by Ori, a bodyworker who has a deep knowledge of human anatomy. If you are a tight-bodied person, you need this class! This is for people who get their cardio elsewhere but want the meditative peace and stretch from yoga.

Slow Flow & Restore

60 Minute Classes

Slow Flow & Restore is a nourishing fusion of mindful, unhurried vinyasa and restorative yoga. At the start of class, gently release tension and stress through meditative movements and breath work. Then, ease into floor based postures supported by props to encourage deep relaxation and comfort. Slow, deliberate movement unlocks deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue to rejuvenate your tissues. Class will culminate in a tranquil savasana to embrace the healing power of stillness and then finish with a brief guided meditation. Embrace the art of slowing down, honoring your body’s unique needs, and creating spaciousness in the mind.
