A Slow Yoga class is a vinyasa style at a more meditative pace, emphasizing peace and calm in body and mind. The poses are held longer, taking several breaths in each pose, giving the body time to stretch and acquire muscle "memory". Slow Flow can be less "intimidating" for beginners to yoga and those recovering from injuries. But a slow flow is not "easy" or "smooth". Stretching is emphasized in Slow Flow but also allows you to work on strength in more challenging asanas. Learning to "move slowly" is a mindfulness practice and can help calm the mind and manage stress. We all need to find moments to slow down and experience some calm.
