Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa Yoga, also referred to as flow yoga, is a practice in which movements and asanas (poses) are synchronized with the breath. At Sundance Yoga Studio in Friendswood and Pearland-, our vinyasa yoga classes consist of upward movements that are performed while inhaling and downward movements that are performed while exhaling. The asanas are linked together so that the class consists of almost continuous, smoothly flowing movement. One of our advanced vinyasa classes is a great way to break a sweat, and the synchronization of breath with movement brings sense of increased focus.

Yin Yoga

Most forms of Yoga today are dynamic, active practices designed to work only half of our body, the muscular half, the “yang” tissues. Yin Yoga allows us to work the other half, the deeper “yin” tissues of our ligaments, joints, and deep fascial networks. All of our tissues are important and need to be exercised so that we can achieve optimal health and vitality.

In this class we honor the principles of Yin; come into the pose to an appropriate depth, resolve to remain still and hold the pose for some time. Yin focuses on a release of connective tissues and cultivation of observance, pranayama and meditation as we surrender into longer held postures and open ourselves to the release of deeply held, stagnant energy.

What to expect: longer held postures to move beyond the superficial muscles deep into the connective tissue.

This class welcomes any level student, from beginner to advanced.

Please note: Yin Yoga is *NOT* Restorative Yoga. If the tissues you are targeting are damaged in some way, please give yourself a chance to heal before joining this class.

Private Yoga And Private Group Yoga Sessions Are Available

Today’s group yoga classes are a modern invention. In its early days, the practice was passed down from one teacher to one student, and instruction was individualized. Whether you’re a novice, advanced practitioner, or a special needs client, private yoga classes at Sundance Yoga Studio can mimic early yoga teaching methods and maximize health benefits. Sundance yoga also specializes in the needs of physical and emotional rehabilitation through Yoga therapy. We can help you achieve your goals while improving flexibility, strength and balance. You will receive the personal attention you need to get the most out of every asana, or pose.
