Question 8

I'm new to yoga, what class do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

All of our classes are all levels and we are intentional about providing options to ensure that the class is accessible. We do however suggest to begin with our South Practice. It is a vinyasa krama, meaning ladder sequence, involving more repetition and a bit more breaking down of key asanas (postures) like chaturanga (a very common and quite challenging transition). This is a grounding flow that can be dialed down or up depending on your yoga experience.

Question 9

What is vinyasa?

Accepted Answer

Vinyasa holds a few meanings. For one, it means "to place in a specific or special way." This can be translated to mean, to place something with intention or to move with purpose.

It is also referred to as a dynamic yoga asana sequence that coordinates breath and movement for a more cardiovascular, or energetic yoga experience. Often described as yoga that is done "breath to movement." Our sequences are fluid, with the emphasis on how you transition from one shape to the next.

A third definition is that it also is often to referred to as a description for "flowing" or transitioning in class. You might hear the cue, "now, vinyasa." This means, "flow" your practice. Often referring to a chaturanga, upward facing dog, to downward facing dog transition.

Our classes are all movement inspired. We believe that to move the body is to engage with the foundation of our mind and spirit.

Question 10

What is Arrow Yoga's class style?

Accepted Answer

Tantric in essence, weaving body to spirit, through vinyasa ("to place in a special way") based movement practices, we use the body as the portal to awaken attention & our connection to all there is. 
​
Our classes explore various practices of yoga but are most consistently vinyasa based with tantric philosophy influence. We love to integrate various techniques, methodologies and lineages to curate a multi faceted experience for our students to connect to their whole self. We see the asana practice as a doorway to remember the sacred and lead with intentional messaging as a map to unearthing your true essence. Our flows offer combinations of breath focused movement, pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudras, yoga philosophy, story telling and more. 
 
The design and format of our sequencing is dependent on the intention for the practice, influenced by the physical to the subtle realms. We build our sequences with a format of beginning, middle, and end - always beginning with a grounding integration, a salutation series to awaken and stir your energy, sometimes simple and repetitive, other times complex and accumulative.
 
The middle of practice can be many iterations and combinations of ladder sequencing where we build to a peak posture, or a peak flow. It can also be a creative, either a simple or complex sequence that explores the art of transitions in one long sequence on both sides of the body.  Whatever the sequence, expect it to flow gracefully yet powerfully, curated carefully with a specific prescription in mind.   We love to explore the utilization of the whole mat, facing you in different directions, as we see it as an opportunity to provide new perspectives and deepen insights.
​
The end of practice offers access to the more subtle aspects of mind and heart through a restorative sequence that leads to savasana. Spirit comes forward in stillness and silence. We slow down in preparation for meditation, and essentially, the true north of our experience. Reflection, reception, and connection are the aim. 
​
Expect a well rounded practice that blends various groups of shapes to benefit the collective in an inclusive way for all bodies. Our detailed cueing and alignment based and functional movement approach, merged with relative yoga philosophy, provides an intelligent and transformative practice for all. We emphasize that advancement in your practice is actually measured not by how many fancy poses you can make on your mat, but by how adaptable, steady, and joy filled you become in your life.
​
Movement is our medicine.
