स्थिरसुखमासनम्॥४६॥ Sutra II.46 sthira-sukham-āsanam

The posture (asana) for Yoga meditation should be steady, stable, and motionless, as well as comfortable.   The sage Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras which are considered to be the foundational texts of Yoga. He described the physical practice of yoga in Sanskrit as “Sthira Sukham Asanam.” Loosely defined, we should strive to practice yoga with strength and in a relaxed way. Sthira translates as strong, steady, and stable. Sukha means comfortable, happy, and relaxed. Asanam refers to the physical practice of yoga. Sthira and Sukha are opposites, but equally important qualities to develop in both the practice of yoga and in life.

Vinyasa Yoga isn’t about bending you into a pretzel, it’s about challenging you to your fullest potential. This yoga class focuses on enhancing endurance, strength and flexibility, synchronizing movement with breath while flowing from pose to pose. The pace of the class is slower than some vinyasa classes, but builds heat and intensity through a sustained practice of Sun Salutations and other flowing sequences. The class begins with seated breath awareness and meditation followed with detailed work on static poses that round out the practice before a final relaxation.

Yoga offers us a path to greater understanding and a deeper connection to ourselves and others. This path requires our patience, compassion, reflection, and connection. It all starts with serving each other in a way that inspires unity through inclusion. Unity is what yoga is all about. This class is for EVERY BODY, because Yoga is for Every Body. Men of all ages, genders, colors, shapes and sizes accepted here!
