CB Sunrise Vinyasa (Level 1/2)

Crested Butte Class:

Margaret’s Sunrise Vinyasa is a form of Prana Vinyasa. Prana Vinyasa is an energetic, creative, full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga cultivated by Shiva Rea and the Global Vinyasa Collective of Teachers.

Students of all levels are empowered to experience prana – the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence – as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living.

Practitioners learn classical and innovative approaches to vinyasa yoga and the state of flow drawn from Krishnamacharya’s teachings, Tantra, Ayurveda, Bhakti, Somatics and Shiva’s teaching experience from the last fifteen years.

Classes are ritual sadhanas (a groove to one’s self). Prana Flow classes are breath inspired journeys that offer a complete spectrum (ha-tha) of rhythms from meditative and rejuvenating to the challenging and empowering. The wave of a class is created through cycles of effective and creative sequences (vinyasas) linked together through the breathwave.

Every class is well rounded, following the mandala of the body and asanas – to create whole body transformation of strength and fluidity, circulation and centering.

Margaret Loperfido
As a full time Landscape Architect and business owner, mother of two and wife, Margaret looks to her yoga practice to help find strength, balance, peace and a quiet space in her often hectic life. Margaret stepped into her first yoga class over 18 years ago and fell in love with the practice at once. She completed her 200 hour Teacher Training in Shiva Rea’s Prana Vinyasa yoga in 2013. Margaret’s style of teaching incorporates vinyasa flow with attention to alignment. She provides instruction to challenge each student mentally and physically while incorporating a sense of levity and humor as a reminder to not take ourselves too seriously. Her hope is that each student will walk out of her class feeling a bit more connected to the earth, to each other and to their own quiet space within.
