50 Minute Yoga Class - Beginner Friendly Vinyasa Breakdown

In this class we break down common poses included in vinyasa classes. The word vinyasa is often associated with classes that flow with the breath and with the chaturanga to updog to downdog transition. The translation of vinyasa is "to carefully place" or "to move in a special way." We'll explore flowing with our breath and moving consciously and with awareness.
This class is accessible to all levels of yogis, including beginners.

This was the class I needed after almost two weeks of no-yoga and moving from Brooklyn to Santa Fe. As always, your teaching style and aura just brings so much calmness and joy to my practice. Thanks for all you do. And hello from Santa Fe! It isn't Brooklyn but that's the reason we moved.

This was so clearly explained that I didn't have to keep screwing my head around to watch the video. Felt that I was performing the movements properly because of that. Great class. Hopefully you've done many more. Thank you

I learned around 9:54 how to go into a lunge and gracefully step up and not look a mess and feel awkward. Thanks for that :)

such a lovely class :)

[@mbg3871]

Another great class! I know you have a “headache” class but is there any way you can to a longer one? You’re the best!

[@FloatingYogaSchool]

Oh yeah! I can totally do a longer one! Great request - thank you :)

[@brant5632]

Another lovely practice, Helen! I actually had some comments on some of the other new videos you uploaded lately, but when I realized that in the middle of the class I was making mental notes about what I had to share, I decided to forget about commenting and just do yoga! One of my comments *may* have been that I always have trouble pressing into the tops of my feet; I can support myself on them but it doesn't really feel active. An interesting thing with todays flow was the blocks - I have the egg blocks and your transitions from lunges to straight legs with the blocks is one of the only places I have felt that the rolling action of the eggs was an improvement on the standard rectangular prism. And since you're taking requests (I may have requested this before), how about one on your back where we can double check triangle, half-moon, etc. are all perfectly aligned? Thanks for all these great new videos. Namaste!

[@FloatingYogaSchool]

Hi Suzanne! I personally don't feel a ton of pressure on the tops of my feet either. In lunges I usually prefer my toes tucked under. In cobra it's more important that your feet don't lift off the floor than put a ton of pressure on your feet. I love the tip with the egg / rounded blocks - that's a great idea! Love the idea of the triangle, half-moon on the back, too. I've also done those poses against a wall so I'll give some options with that too. Namaste!!

[@brant5632]

Floating Yoga School Glad it isn't just me with the tops of the feet! I think you got better alignment on the floor than the wall. Hugs!

[@heatherb3292]

Nice class but you didn’t do Jack to help anyone with their form. Word.

[@FloatingYogaSchool]

You mean with hands-on adjustments / assists? Or were you looking for more personalized cueing?
