Standard at Shri - Vinyasa Yoga
Shri Studio's standard yoga class is a vinyasa-based practice, in which breath-synchronized movements aim to re-pattern the energy within both your physical and energetic bodies, increasing your strength, flexibility and stamina.
Each class on the weekly schedule is appropriate for all levels of experience. Classes, however, marked VIGOROUS VINYASA are the most athletically challenging.
Each Shri Studio vinyasa practice starts
with meditation and breath work (pranayama) and moves into an ever-changing series
of postures (asanas), incorporating standing and seated sequences, balances,
twists, back bends and inversions. (Vigorous/Heated VINYASA practices involve more arm balances and inversions and a faster flow.)
Some classes are set to an
ever-changing array of music (Alison and Caroline). Some classes are silent, depending on the teacher. The vinyasa practice concludes with a long, deep, luxurious relaxation, traditionally referred to as shavasana. The culmination of these experiences, in one beautiful space, creates different levels of what we then describe as "flow."
At Shri Studio, certified
teachers offer safe, hands-on assistance in all postures for each and
every student who wants them, and modifications are always encouraged
and demonstrated to achieve proper alignment.
