Vinyasa yoga focuses on sequencing fluid movement together with breath to bring a deeper self awareness and understanding to the practitioner. There are many styles of vinyasa: Ashtanga, Baptiste, and Jivamukti, to name a few. Colleen teaches a vinyasa flow rooted in the principals of Ashtanga. The continuous movement of vinyasa reflects the impermanence of all forms and the necessity of accepting change to achieve balance and completeness. All levels.

Jared McCann Yoga classes are a blend of classical and modern yoga philosophies. With inspiration drawn from Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, Dharma, and Forrest Yoga, elements of these five styles are uniquely fused together to create a new and transformative style of Yoga that is challenging, healing, and fun. The classes use classical hatha yoga postures, pranayama, and meditation to create balance, strength, and flexibility in the body/mind. The breath becomes a meditation and is used to create space in the body from the inside, out.
