Connecting yoga poses in a flowing sequence is called vinyasa. Learning the basics of foundation in our Beginning or Beginning & Beyond classes is best before doing a flowing type of yoga, which requires good health and strength. Side flows compliment sun flows with the majority of poses moving laterally, thus minimizing upper body weight bearing positions. Side flows are great for strengthening legs, opening hips and shoulders, and increasing stability and stamina.
