Flow Yoga at U Fit Thrive in Leicester is a type of yoga that focuses on the connection between breath, movement, and the mind. It is based on the principles of hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga and ashtanga vinyasa. This style of yoga is often referred to as 'flow' because it moves from one pose to another in a continuous, smooth way.

Vinyasa Yoga is one of the most dynamic forms of yoga, in which specific postures are practiced in tandem with gaze (drsti), breath control (pranayama) and energy locks (bandhas). It is a system that purifies and strengthens the physical body, whilst harmonising the mental and energetic bodies in a moving meditation.

Embodied Yin Yoga is a form of embodied yoga practice that combines the principles of Yin Yoga with the concepts of embodiment and mindfulness. Yin Yoga itself is a slow-paced style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods, typically three to five minutes or more. This approach targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments, bones, and joints, and encourages the release of tension and stress. It also aims to improve flexibility and circulation in the body, particularly in the joints and connective tissues. This is the perfect practice for Leicester yoga practitioners to support their physical and mental health.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a physically demanding style of yoga. Ashtanga yoga unites breath, poses and other elements to purify and strengthen the physical body, whilst harmonising the mental and energetic bodies in a moving meditation. U Fit Thrive is the place to explore ashtanga in Leicester.

The main focus of Restorative yoga is that by relaxing in poses, with the aid of props, without strain or pain, we can achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Restorative yoga classes are very relaxing and slow paced. Props like blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps are used so that you are supported in your pose comfortably. You hold the pose for an extended period of time. This practice is great to add balance to an active yoga schedule or to build valuable rest and recovery into your lifestyle.

Slow flow yoga is a style of yoga that moves at a slower pace. The sequencing of a slow flow class is similar to vinyasa yoga as each pose flows into the next, with some transitions more seamless than others. Some slow flow practices move through sun salutations, and some do not.

This is a moving meditation practice that combines gently strengthening poses with soothing mobility practices, breathing, and relaxation exercises to support your mind, body and nervous system. Time is spent holding each pose before moving to the next.
