INSIDE FLOW

Inside Flow is the most beautiful way of expressing your yoga as though it were a dance. A dance that is made up of the union of breath, movement and music, the holy trinity of Inside Flow. It is a form of vinyasa that is a movement art, poetry in motion.

Inside Flow focuses on the space between poses. It is not about getting from A to B, from one pose to the next. This practice focuses on HOW we get from A to B. It is a constant flow with no static holds, only moving smoothly through the sequence as fast or as slow as the beat of the music. It demands presence to move through every transition gracefully.

Each sequence is choreographed to a particular song. It all begins with the song. The music is not in the background, it is an integral part of the practice. Moving to the beat, on the beat. The sequence is taught in sections and learnt through repetition. At the end, it is put together and  the whole sequence is performed to the song that it was made for and everything falls into place.

MINDFULNESS

There will be a short session of mindfulness meditation every day, and no prior experience is needed.

Mindfulness is nothing more mystical than being aware of your immediate experience. Our minds are often lost in thoughts about the past and future, and even worse caught up in worrying, rumination or self-criticism. Our ability to think and plan is of course a great gift, but often it leads us into stress, fear and low self-esteem. The practice of mindfulness turns the light of awareness towards our own mind - so that we can get to know it intimately - and begin to both see through and let go of destructive patterns of thought and emotion; as well as cultivating the sprouts of wisdom, love, connection and compassion.
