Slow Flow classes are guided throughout, with a focus on breathwork which is intended to take students out of their heads and into a more peaceful state of awareness. Emphasis is given to aligning the breath with the movement while slowing down and softening into postures. Slow Flow is an excellent starting point if you are new to yoga, and it also serves to challenge students to go deeper into their practice if they are experienced practitioners. The slower pace of the class allows students to hold postures, engage muscles and build strength, as well as flexibility. Classes are set to music designed to build energy, then release energy as students settle into final grounded postures, and rest together in Savasana.
