ATHL 205 - Intermediate Vinyasa Yoga

0.5 credits
This class is for those with a strong yoga or dance background, or those who have previously taken a Vinyasa Yoga class and would like more of a challenge. We will progress to a deeper level working towards more advanced postures and arm balances. This is a strong, yet compassionate Vinyasa flow, warming, opening and strengthening the whole body, whilst calming and centering the mind. Starting with a brief meditation, the postures will be then be offered up layer by layer (with modifications offered for various levels of flexibility or strength) leaving you feeling strong and grounded. It is about dropping the ego, challenging yourself and having fun. By presenting ourselves with things slightly outside our comfort zone, we learn to lean into those challenges with compassion and self-acceptance, breathe, release, let go, smile and find a new and more balanced place within ourselves.

Prerequisites: ATHL 105 or ATHL 105B.
