Vayusha Yoga

Students shed their shoes when entering Vayusha Yoga, signalling that they're ready to take the first steps toward inner peace. Here, certified instructors guide them through ancient poses tailored to the needs of modern yogis, including physical fitness and stress relief. Beginners thrive in most classes, which range from relaxing, stretch-filled Hatha routines to Flow sessions brimming with deep breaths and sun salutations. The temperature rises for Lava Flow classes, loosening tight muscles to facilitate twists, balances, and basic inversions. In addition to hosting classes at the studio, instructors lead yoga retreats at a Nicaraguan eco lodge, where students can nap in treehouses, learn to surf, or teach local spider monkeys the downward-facing dog.
