Classic 28 / Flow (Barkan Method) / Barkan Vinyasa / BALANCE
• 90 minute Classic 28 Flow’s (Barkan Method) classes have it ALL! These classes offer a vinyasa warmup, balancing and compression postures followed 35 minutes of core work, spine twisting and hip openers with a variety of floor postures each class. Created by Jimmy Barkan this method and sequencing is similar to Traditional Bikram Yoga, but BETTER! (and far better FOR you with specfic attention to correct alignment for your neck, back and knees)
In the non-flow Classic 28 classes you will have longer holds and two sets of all balancing poses but no Vinyasa – this is still an all encompassing practice, but friendlier for those with wrist, shoulder or elbow issues.
• Barkan Vinyasa is a series of 5 Vinyasa flows from the Barkan Method of Hot Yoga, balance and floor work. Intermediate level… and SWEATY!
• Classic 28 is a shorter combo of Barkan Method… taught in a quick flow… 25-30 minutes standing and 25 -30 minutes floor…work and stretch EVERY inch of your body in this head to toe practice! If you’re a Bikram practitioner, this sequence will make you HAPPY, as well as our BALANCE class – two of every classic hot balancing poses and the extras and alignment from the Barkan Method.
These classes are taught by Nicky and Michele and heated to at or below body temp…94-99 F
