Most classes at Devotion Yoga are Vinyasa style unless otherwise noted. Vinyasa means "flowing with breath". Picture meditation in motion; the movement from one posture to another flowing with the waves of the breath. Vinyasa movement is fluid with great attention to proper breathing and alignment, while honoring the wisdom of the body to lead the way.

 

"Bhakti" means Devotion in Sanskrit the language of yoga. In practice Bhakti signifies active participation in life, living with an open heart, and having reverence for and being a seeker on a spiritual path.
