Yoga
Here at The Mnd/Studio we offer a variety of classes including basic Hatha,  and Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow.  We also draw from elements of Anasura and Jivamutka traditions.

The Vinyasa style of yoga is charectorized by a focus on vinyasa, or a dynamic connecting posture that creates a flow between the more static traditional postures.  The vinyasa "flow" is a varient of Surya namaskara, the Sun Salutation.  

The standard Vinyasa consists of the flow from chaturanga, or plan, to chatarunga dandasana, or low plank, to urdhva mukha svanasana (Upward facing dog), to adho mukha svanasana, or Downward facing dog.  The purpose of vinyasa is to create heat in the body, which leads to purification of the body through increased circulation and sweating.  It also improves flexibility as well as tendon and hard tissue strength, allowing the student to practice advanced asanas with reduced risk of injury.
