Bala Vinyasa

Vinyasa
Vinyasa means flow, it means without resistance or obstruction. It is the link of each breath to the next. It can be the linking of each movement or yoga posture to the next, aligning the flow of the breath with the action of the body. Vinyasa is also found within the sustaining of a yoga posture. Within the pose we move the breath throughout the body enabling the flow of energy. As we deepen our breath we are able to move closer to the edge of our comfort zone without restriction. When we are able to let go and flow with what may come, we flow without resistance on our mat and in our lives. As a result we encompass more ease and not as much dis-ease in our life.

Bala
Bala is the Sanskrit word meaning power. Power not only in the physical sense but in all aspects of your life. To empower thus enrich yourself in mind, body and spirit. Bala is also translated into child. Discovering the childlike qualities of exploration, lightness and fun within your practice without judgments or expectations.

Yoga
The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root meaning “to yoke”, “join”, “merge” or “union”. Thus the union of mind, body and spirit and the union or harmony with all that exists.

Bala Vinyasa Yoga
Bala Vinyasa integrates the wisdom of the ages to that of today making it applicable in our modern world. We recognize the need to simplify in our sometimes chaotic external world.

Yoga is great for improving all aspects of wellness plus opening your mind and heart for every day challenges outside the yoga room.
