Preyasi Xanthaki

I teach Vinyasa yoga, inspired by the Laughing Lotus and the Jivamukti Yoga sequencing. I place great emphasis on conscious alignment, breath awareness, meditation and relaxationalong with referencing back to Yogic principles and the lineage. In my class we move through the chakra system, an organic unfolding where each step prepares us for the next. The class begins through breath centered gentle warm-ups, sun salutations, creative standing pose sequences, powerful arm balances, transformative inversions, heart opening backbends, cleansing twists, deep forward bends and hip openers, along with mind-expanding meditation. The class culminates in blissful relaxation, leaving you with a feeling of happiness and expansiveness.  Music, Sanskrit and yogic breathing techniques play an important role.  It is a physically challenging and intellectually stimulating practice leading to spiritual awareness.
