Kripalu Vinyasa Flow Yoga
This moderate vinyasa flow class is a wonderful challenge for your stabilizer muscles and your balance!
Wednesdays 6:00pm
This class has so many wonderful benefits; stretching, strengthening, stabilizing, sweating, detoxifying, breathing practices, mindfulness, relaxing.
Ally leads in her Kripalu style, creative way which means that no 2 classes ever look exactly alike. This will keep you on your toes and keep the mind present instead of just "going through the sequence".
Vinyasa means "to move with the breath" which is a flowing style of class rather than holding too many static poses over longer periods of time. A regular practice can lower cortisol levels, calms the mind, increases mental clarity and releases and reduces stress and tension. Whether you are looking to improve your metabolism and circulation, detoxify the different tissues of your body, or strengthen your cardiovascular system, this is the class for you!

Meet Your Teacher
I'm Ally, the founder of Sarovara Yoga, a yoga educator and meditation teacher with a passion for yoga nidra and the healing power of conscious rest. My life's path has been one of healing from anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia through the science of yoga, particularly yoga nidra and lifestyle practices such as Ayurveda & chemical-free, natural living. My life's work is to help people to connect to, restore and renew all levels of their being. My aim is to help people to calm, balance and restore their nervous systems. I teach tools for reversing exhaustion, stress and overwhelm and help people reconnect to their sensitive biorhythms and the natural world. I'm dedicated to inspiring depth, creativity, and joy by sharing the most potent tools from a variety of yogic traditions. I aim to bring an openhearted, inclusive view to my classes, which are a rich blend of Kripalu Yoga along with Classical Hatha Tantra, Yoga Psychology, Yoga Nidra, Integrative Restoration, Amrita Living Yoga & Energy Medicine.

I love moderate Kripalu yoga classes! The experience begins with a guided meditation centring & breathing (pranayama) techniques to instil a sense of presence in each moment throughout the practice. A warm-up (pratapana) to prepare the body for yoga poses & posture flows that move with the breath (vinyasa). A meditation in motion style of teaching promotes a strong mind-body connection while learning to listen to YOUR body’s wisdom is emphasized.
The styles of postures (asanas) that you will explore in this class include strengthening (warriors, planks, bridges), balancing (trees, dancers, figure 4s, balancing tables), stretching (pigeons, forward folds, runner’s stretches), heart opening (dancers, puppy stretches, camels, bows) the seven movements of the spine (flexion, extension, length, twists & lateral stretches) and many more.
The attention of the class invites students to notice the subtle levels of sensation and breath as well as the transitions between each yoga pose. Benefits include stress relief, relaxation, balance, flexibility, strength, clarity of mind, increased memory, and a heightened love and respect for the body. This class has lots of room for growth as well as modifications when needed. Each class ends with deep relaxation, meditation and a relaxation gentle hands on/energetic assist. (Optional)
Note: This series of classes is a good choice for both strong beginners and yogis with a regular practice! If you are looking for a class that challenges you as opposed to purely relaxation and stretching then this is the class for you.
