5. 9:30am Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga is a physical practice of yoga that focuses on linking yoga poses (asanas), together in a fluid, smooth way. Think of Vinyasa as rhythmic, repetitive yoga that links breath to movement. That means all movements in a vinyasa class are coordinated with your breathing, and you're just dynamically moving from one to the next.
Leticia, our yoga instructor, has brought her vinyasas all the way from the magical island of Ibiza, where she became a yoga teacher. She arrived to El Valle 3 years ago, and felt in love directly with the hidden paradise. Ever since she lives here and became part of our community as our Yoga and Zumba instructor.
