Flow Yoga is a practice in which our movements are linked fluidly together with an awareness and focus on breathing. Postures are connected and sequenced in a way that intelligently opens the body in stages (in Sanskrit, “karmas”) and sets of postures, or sequences always build from the most basic to the complex.

Blockages come from a variety of sources (society, traditions, internal conflicts, etc.) and are responsible for the majority of “bad” things that happen such as war, hatred, crime and so on. By following your flow you will achieve a tranquility and confidence in life you never thought possible. You will NEVER make a decision again since you will always KNOW what to do. And being in flow is infectious — you will find all your interactions in the world will be different, more positive and more life affirming.
