Ageless Yoga with Marnell Farley

My scheduled public classes

NOTE FOR SMARTPHONE USERS:
You will find the details for these classes in the left-hand column of this page, and short descriptions of the different yoga styles on the page of class descriptions.

Vinyasa Flow in perspective

Vinyasa Flow yoga is derived from the ancient system of Ashtanga yoga. In Ashtanga yoga, there is a set order for the routines of poses, and importantly, patterns of breathing are prescribed for the controlled movements between poses. The poses, and movements and single breaths between them, are meant to flow together quickly enough to heat and therefore cleanse the body.

Today's Vinyasa Flow keeps the main ideas of traditional Ashtanga yoga, with set movements and one breath between poses. But it is looser than pure Ashtanga, with more variety of routines and pacing, while still vigorous and challenging. Keeping with tradition, its routines include at least one Sun Salutation, and often more.

My Vinyasa workouts also offer varied routines and pacing, from gentle to hard-working, including inverted poses. And you might discover the added benefit that repeating a routine like Sun Salutation using different movements broadens your larger yoga repertoire.

I will guide you toward coordinating breath, movement, and poses until your Vinyasa practice flows as smooth and fluid as a slow, soft dance.
