Raise your hand if you have the opportunity to do yoga at lunchtime at a studio?  Yoga Works offers a 55 minute Vinyasa Flow yoga that I had the amazing opportunity to try yesterday.  It has a completely different theory behind it than a regular 90 minute class.  It is ALL FLOW.  Very intense, but super fun.  If I lived in Orange County, that would be the one I’d go to daily, if time allowed.

We had a sub, and still, the sequences were UNIQUE.  I loved the flow sequences right from the beginning.  For those of you who don’t know, a “flow” is a series of movements that are supposed to be connected to the breath.  This class gave me the opportunity to go from Down Dog to Dolphin, to One Legged Dolphin, to Side Plank and then returning to Down Dog.

Or try this lovely sequence:

Crescent to Twisting Crescent

to twisting chair (without dropping the foot)

to a one-legged twisted chair!

Phew!!

{Note: This pictures were taken very quickly and I have a long way to go in these poses…But, it’s nice for me to see where I am going in each pose.}

And, she’d say things like, you are almost done, there is a Down Dog in your future! Funny.

What a fun class!  None of the poses were held for any length of time, we just kept moving through lots of poses in a short amount of time.

Do you have a favorite exercise class? If so, what is it?
