Vinyasa Yoga
Inner Heat Yoga offers a variety of Vinyasa yoga classes. Vinyasa yoga is one of the more popular yoga styles practiced in the west today. Vinyasa yoga moves through fluid poses and the sequence is rarely the same. This is different from "fixed forms" of yoga like Bikram and Ashtanga where classes often feature the same postures in the same order.
The fluid, changing sequences of Vinyasa yoga allows the body to become balanced and help to prevent repetitive motion injuries that generally occur from doing the same thing every day and using the same muscle groups. Vinyasa helps us to honor the impermanence of life as we fluidly move from one pose to the next.
Vinyasa means a gradual progression or a step-by-step approach that systematically and appropriately takes a participant from one point and safely lands them at the next point. Shiva Rea says, “Vinyasa in its original meaning from the early Tantras is understood as the ‘sequence of consciousness,’ or how life unfolds from…the creative pulse of life.”

strengthening yoga class for all.
