Yoga Flow
Certification Details
Classes of Flow yoga will usually begin with gentler movements to warm up the body, then into progressively more challenging flowing sequences. These may include balances, inversions and peak poses. It may end with calmer, deeper stretches, and often floor-based asana practice.
Flow yoga classes are perhaps some of the most popular yoga classes in the West. This may be because of the physical workout they can provide. Often, the room will also be heated to add to the intensity. However, depending on the teacher, they may also be much slower and gentler.
The breath synchronization of Flow yoga is said to maximize the positive benefits of the practice, making it like a moving meditation. The breath works by:
- Maintaining the pace of the sequence, preventing rushing through postures
- Keeping the body temperature consistent
- Giving a greater mental focus
- Helping block out distractions
- Assisting in finding the proper form of postures
Many styles of yoga incorporate Flow yoga including Ashtanga, Anusara, Bikram and Power yoga.
