What Is Vinyasa Flow Yoga?
Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic style of yoga where postures are linked together through breath-led movement, creating a sequence that feels like a moving meditation. In Sylvia’s class, you’ll flow through Sun Salutations, followed by a creative sequence of postures, each held for several breaths to refine alignment and deepen your experience.
This class is slower in pace but strong in intention – helping you feel energised, centred, and lighter in heart.

FAQs
No – flexibility is not a requirement. This class is designed for all levels, and yoga helps build flexibility over time. Sylvia offers variations to support you wherever you are in your practice.
Yes. The class is open to all experience levels. Whether it’s your first time or you’re returning to yoga, the slower pace and focus on breath and alignment make this an accessible and supportive environment. However, if you feel you are extremely unfit, Hatha Flow may be a better starting point (see Events: Susie Sun and Friday mornings)
