Slow Flow is a slower style of yoga flow. Flow yoga, also known as vinyasa flow, is characterized by stringing postures (asanas) together so that you move from one to another in a flowing sequence, with an awareness of the breath. Slow flow slows the pace down a little, creating a more gentle rhythm. Slow Flow is a great place to start as a beginner.
Layla’s Slow Flow classes are steady and strong. Each month, Layla explores a different physical focus each month and each class includes pranayama (breathwork) and philosophical themes for a total mind, body, and soul reset.
Expect flowing movement and strength building through active stretches and longer holds.

Layla first discovered yoga as a way to heal a variety of physical & mental ailments. Noticing the difference in mindset, yoga very quickly became a daily practice. Layla traveled to Bali to complete her 500 hour training. The energy from this sacred land will always be infused into her classes. Layla’s training had a focus on Hatha, Vinyasa and a variety of Pranayama and Meditation techniques.
Some words from Layla:
‘My favourite style to practice and teach is slow and mindful, with a focus on active poses & strength for empowerment & injury prevention. I love seeing people transform their energy in a yoga class, walking in and out of the room a lot lighter and more connected. I feel very blessed to teach yoga and share my passion with you.’
