Flow with me:
Are you in search of a light-hearted, inclusive, engaging yoga class, designed to both challenge AND support you? See my schedule below for pop-up classes and regularly scheduled group classes in Charlotte, NC. If you feel more comfortable with one-on-one instruction, take a look at my Private Instruction page for details on customized solo and group sessions. I look forward to exploring your practice together.
If you've never been to a Vinyasa class before, this style is designed to revitalize and restore your body, calm the mind, increase energy, and reduce stress. This is an excellent class style for students who would like to experience play and exploration. Great for all levels of yoga experience. Vinyasa yoga links breath with movement. Move or “flow” from one pose to another in sequence, on an inhale or an exhale. This class mixes vinyasa flow with deeper stretch postures. Tons of fun to be had 😊
