February 11, 2010 February’s class focuses on Vinyasa Yoga, a flow style of yoga where the body moves in synchrony with the breath, helping to draw the attention inward to create a moving meditation. It is a dynamic style of yoga that generates heat to help warm the muscles and prevent injury, while helping release toxins and sweat, building strength and increasing flexibility and bringing a centeredness and sense of calm to the present moment.

This class is suitable for every body, every shape and every fitness level. Louise has been leading fitness classes and personal training since 2001 and provides private and group yoga instruction for adults and kids in addition to teaching classes at Beloved Yoga in Reston and Great Falls and at LA Fitness.

Her practice has been growing since 2005 while studying at The Yoga Connection (TYC) in Manassas. She will complete her teacher certification through HAYC in February, 2010 and will focus on yoga as therapy to guide students with special medical and physical needs.
