Dance/Flow Yoga

Dance/Flow Yoga: The Rhythm of Embodiment

Dance/Flow Yoga is a broad category of yoga that merges the mindful principles of Vinyasa with the expressive freedom of dance. It is less about holding static poses and more about exploring fluid transitions, rhythm, and grace.

What to Expect in a Class

  • Music-Driven Flow: The class is heavily driven by music, with sequences often choreographed to the beat.
  • Repetitive, Rhythmic Movements: You might repeat a short sequence of movements several times to enter a flow state.
  • Fluid Transitions: The emphasis is on graceful, circular, and spiraling transitions.
  • Focus on Expression: Teachers encourage students to move in a way that feels good and expressive.

Key Poses

  • The style is defined by the transitions rather than the poses themselves.
  • Cat-Cow with spinal rolls.
  • "Dancing Warrior" sequences that flow creatively between Warrior II, Reverse Warrior, and other related poses.
  • Goddess Pose with fluid hip movements.
