Vinyasa literally means "to place in a special way," to place movement with breath, and to focus the mind on the rhythmic interplay between the two. A Vinyasa flow practice is a beautiful dance of fluidity and strength.
In this weekend workshop, you will be guided through Saturday and Sunday afternoon practices led by Erika Burkhalter, followed by a discussion of the guiding principles behind vinyasa flow sequencing.
We will spend time constructing and deconstructing sequences with discussion of the rational or "drive" behind particular patterns of flow.
