The vinyasa style of yoga encompasses three different elements -- cardio, strength, and flexibility. In every practice, I try to incorporate all these elements with some classes dominated on a certain element more than others; however, I try to keep it as balanced as possible within my one-hour limit.Last week, with the focus on lower body, the dominant element was strength. This week, we will bring attention to the cardio element elevating our heart rates throughout the practice with a series of salutations. Towards the end of class, we'll begin to cool down with some final stretches and perhaps even some inversions.
If you have any suggestions for this class, I invite you to offer them up by sending me an e-mail or leaving a comment prior to class. Or bring suggestions with you during class and we can incorporate them throughout the practice.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all, and bring your energy, water, towel, lucky mat -- whatever that gets you through practice!!! It was also mentioned last week we may be heading out for drinks after class, so if you are interested, you're more than welcome to join. It will most likely be after class at some bar/restaurant nearby. Hope to see you then!!!

Talk about hot yoga! Tonight's class was intense, especially with the heat up. As mentioned, the focus tonight was on the cardio element of yoga, so with the increase in temperature, the tendency is for the body to release toxins through sweat with vigorous activity. And indeed we did!
I hope that not only did you have a good workout, but most importantly had fun!
Remember, this coming Sunday, there will be no outdoor yoga. I'll be back for our Wednesday class and open for any suggestions! I haven't had much feedback lately, so I guess I MUST be doing something right. :) Let me know, because your feedback and suggestions absolutely help me!
Enjoy the rest of your week, and if I don't hear from you prior to the weekend, enjoy your weekend!
Cheers,
Sammi
Good for people to know.
