Finding Steadiness and Joy in Your Vinyasa

This one-hour online vinyasa yoga workshop, Finding Steadiness and Joy in Your Vinyasa, is led by Natasha Rizopoulos through Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It is open to practitioners of every level who want to understand how a vinyasa is built, so that it feels stable, spacious, and sustainable rather than repetitive and heavy.

"Take a vinyasa" is a phrase heard in many yoga traditions, yet it can leave students unsure what to actually do. Repeating the sequence without clear understanding can lead to achy joints and a sense that gravity has won. This class offers a way through that, and it suits anyone who wants to practice with more ease and intelligence.

What to Expect

The class meets live on Zoom in the evening, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm Eastern time, and lasts one hour. Natasha shares the practices and strategies she has developed over the years to teach the essential elements of vinyasa.

You will look at the fundamental actions and intentions that inform each pose, and learn how those principles shape the flow between them. Modifications are a central part of the hour. The aim is to adapt poses in a way that reflects your current reality while still offering a path forward as you build strength and openness. There is also time to interact with the teacher and ask questions.
