This style is sometimes also called flow yoga, because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. The breath becomes an important component. The instructor will guide you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale.

YOGAYoga uses the breath as a focal point as we move through sequences of linked yoga asanas. This class includes sun saluta-tions, pranayama (breathing exercises), and relaxation.
