Slow Flow
with Susan Engstrom

Slow Flow Yoga Class

Slow flow is a meditative, vinyasa-style yoga practice that emphasizes a slower, more intentional pace. Unlike faster, more strenuous vinyasa or power yoga classes, slow flow focuses on breath awareness, mindful movement, and longer holds in each pose. This creates a powerful mind-body connection, allowing you to deepen your practice and enhance your overall well-being.

Key benefits

• Builds functional strength: By holding poses longer, you engage and build slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are responsible for endurance and stability.
• Increases flexibility and mobility: Longer holds allow muscles and connective tissues to release gradually, improving your range of motion and overall flexibility over time.
• Reduces stress and anxiety: The focus on mindful movement and breath helps regulate the nervous system, lowers cortisol levels, and fosters a profound sense of calm.
• Improves body awareness: The slower pace allows for heightened proprioception, or the awareness of your body's position in space. This can help you find proper alignment and prevent injuries.
