Flow Yoga

Flow Yoga Traditional Warrior 1, Warrior 2 and Warrior 3 Sun Salute

This yoga sequence shows how to flow through all of the Warrior Poses in a Vinyasa Flow yoga style. See how to do a complete Sun Salutation Yoga flow where the entire yoga sequence flows with the breath. You may of course want to hold the yoga poses rather than flowing through them. If you hold them for a little while the first time you flow through the vinyasa you will likely enter better and deeper yoga poses when you flow. But if you hold them after you flow through the vinyasa a number of times you will be warmed up and may enjoy holding them more. So there are reason to flow and there are reasons to hold.
