What is FLY Vinyasa Yoga?

FLY style is a focused, creative and intelligent flow style, with an emphasis on alignment, form and safety. It can be easily adapted to different levels and different tempos.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT FLY STYLE?

A FLY Flow class opens with a seated pranayama technique, and continues with a long thorough warm-up of all the major joints in the body. The warm-up is usually performed either seated or supine, or a combination of both. This is followed by various creative standing flow sequences, then inversions, then seated sequences, interlaced with vinyasas and finally a guided Savasana and an inspiring quote.
The atmosphere created in the classes is focussed, meditative and joyful. We instruct descriptive and poetic cueing into poses and solid alignment cues whilst holding the poses. FLY classes can either have a general theme, including a little of all the different categories of poses, or they may be thematic with a deeper focus on one specific area of the body.
FLY classes intelligently weave together elements of all of the different styles of Yoga that founder Vidya Heisel has studied including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Hatha, Forrest, and Kundalini Yoga. We always offer lots of options and modifications of poses to suit all levels and adapt the class to work for various limitations and injuries. Safety and longevity is of prime importance in our teaching. We also instruct safe and effective hands-on assisting and keep up with the latest information on anatomical safety.
ALIGNMENT BASED FLOW

In many styles of flow there is little attention to alignment given. The teacher may just call out poses, count breathes or simply say ”inhale….exhale…”. We think that when the students are not provided with enough verbal guidance, this can contribute to bad execution of poses and possibly injury.
At FLY, we skilfully give as much information as we can to practitioners when they are moving in and out, as well as when they are holding poses. This helps the students to correct their own alignment and begin to get an understanding of the mechanics of each yoga posture.
SAFETY

Injury is fairly common when practicing Ashtanga, Hatha or Flow Yoga, mainly because we move quite fast and challenging poses like Chaturanga are performed repetitively. If the practitioner doesn’t have the strength, body awareness or knowledge of the proper alignment of the poses, he or she might be doing the pose incorrectly in a way that is injurious.
At FLY, we make every effort to instruct correct and safe alignment of all poses and to correct anyone who is doing anything potentially injurious. We skilfully offer options and modifications interwoven in the practice, so students can adjust to their own level within the context of the class.
LEVEL
It is possible to teach all levels and you will have the skill set to do so on completion of your Yoga Teacher Training Course.
Some suggested class levels are:
  • Gentle Flow
  • Easy Flow
  • Beginner
  • Intermediate
  • All levels
WHAT OTHER STYLES WOULD I BE PREPARED TO OFFER AFTER TAKING THE FLY TRAINING?
Since we instruct the poses individually, this prepares you to be able to teach a simple Hatha Yoga Interdisciplinary Class as an alternative to a flowing style.
You will also be given the tools to prepare a Gentle Restorative Class and a Prenatal Class.
