Life in Motion Yoga

An Open Vinyasa class (offered several times each day) usually has a thematic focus (such as back bends, hip openers or inversions), and, influenced by the teachings of Ana Forrest, positions are held for a longer duration (a few breaths) than in a typical vinyasa class. The instructor attends to the connections between physical postures (and bodily tensions) and their emotional origins so that the intelligence built in class can be used in other areas of life. Many devoted yogis attend the prime-time weekend class, and the room fills up quickly—come early to stake out a spot.
