Yoga: Yinyasa Level 2 at Thrive Yoga w/ Autumn

Vinyasa Classes are always moving, flow classes that cultivate balance, stability, flexibility, and vigor. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and can be almost dance-like. Classes consist of a series of poses that will teach you to coordinate with the flow of your breath. Breath awareness and coordination are carried throughout the practice as the asana ebbs and flows between effort and ease. Intensity levels & personal style varies by each unique Thrive Yoga teacher. Classes are still accessible to all level practitioners via the offering of modifications.

Level 2 Classes are intermediate classes designed for those who have a good understanding of basic yoga postures and the relationship between breath and movement. Level 2 classes build to peak postures and the pace tends to be more continuous. Teachers will provide slightly less instruction and trust that the students have the ability to modify their practice.
