Vinyasa Flow

with Maryna Makarenko

Tuesdays, 18:00–19:15
Open Level

 

This Vinyasa Flow Class focuses on mobility and stretching as a base accompanied with hands-on-adjustments, while cultivating the quality of listening and centering the body. Many of the shapes aim to lubricate the spine in order to activate the movement of the spinal fluids, and to support fascial stretching, while balancing the nervous system.  

This restorative evening Vinyasa flow supports you in unwinding and grounding your body, enabling you to find pleasure and joy of movement and to celebrate the body in its softness and power. 

The class is open to all levels and taught in English.
