Intent
The intention of Prana (loosely translated as breath in Sanskrit) is to move in tandem with your breath and to harness it as a tool and a compass for your personal practice.
When the breath is comfortable, maybe go deeper or stay comfortable. When it gets shallow, pull back, rest and reset. Your breath is a guide if you let it be one.
Impact
This practice will impact your mind, body and breath all at once. By moving at a cadence that links breath to movement, you will challenge your endurance and your physical limits.
You will always walk away having learned something new - about the practice, about yourself and what you are capable of accomplishing.
Expect
Expect to strengthen and stretch, to move freely and to be still. This is our traditional vinyasa yoga practice, where vinyasa translates to “place in a special way”.
This means that each class and each teacher will be a unique experience. Wear things that are comfortable to move and sweat in, as this practice is heated by infrared heating panels to 85 degrees Fahrenheit from October 1st through Memorial Day. Classes are unheated from Memorial Day through September 30th. The summer heat is more than enough.
Props like blocks and straps are encouraged to make all postures conform to you, rather than you conforming to fit the postures.
