Astanga Yoga

Dynamic Flow/Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Raphan Kebe

Vinyasa Flow:
Sat mornings 9am –10.15am Open NEW CLASS Starts 4 Sept
Saturday Class: Please note that the front door will close as class begins so it is imperative that you arrive before 9am.

After gently awakening and warming the body, the class will progress to the practice of flowing sequences investigating movement, the breath, the mind, the 'elements' and 'Energy' as well as their many directions and possible uses. The offering of this class is ultimately to cultivate inner and outer strength and fluidity, develop vital energy and a relaxed being as well as the activation and receptivity of an open state of mind that can relax with paradox and ambiguity.
