Yoga Flow with Tim Maples - audiobook

Yoga Flow with Tim Maples contains three different progressive audio yoga classes. The classes have been devised, lay a foundation, and establish a sound vinyasa yoga practice. Vinyasa is the term given to flowing yoga practices, and moving in such a way brings a deep sense of connection to the breath, allows you to move with freedom and expression, increases mobility, strength, and provides a cardio workout. Fundamentals of Flow is a fifty-minute flowing vinyasa yoga class with a focus on correct technique and the ujjayi breath. The class had been devised to introduce and then develop a solid foundation in basic vinyasa yoga technique. Flow Alignment is a sixty-minute flowing vinyasa yoga class with a focus on alignment. When the body is correctly aligned, it encourages more effective and safer movement, a greater flow of prana (vital life force) throughout the body, and increases the benefits. Vinyasa Flow by Tim Maples is a seventy-five-minute flowing vinyasa yoga class with a focus on alignment, breath, and continuous movement. This class combines everything learned in the previous two classes and provides a challenging vinyasa class for an experienced practitioner. The sessions have been devised and narrated by Tim Maples, a highly respected and inspiring yoga teacher and leadership coach. Tim was first introduced to the yoga of Indra Devi in 1975. Both a longtime practitioner and an experienced teacher, Tim's Vinyasa Flow classes draw on many influences including iyengar, ashtanga, and traditional raja yoga precepts. These are based on four principles of self-awareness, breath, alignment, and flow.
