"Rock Star" is a vinyasa flow class set to pop, rock, rhythm and blues, and punk music. As the energy generated by the practice builds, the music follows suit. Rock Star is for yogis and yoginis who thrive on the creative spirit of rock and its subgenres and for those who envision their practice as a time to play, release, and get centered. It's pranayama and asana meets Lou Reed, The White Stripes, Diana Ross, HotChaCha, Gossip, Led Zepplin, and many other rock stars and divas.

The concept of Flow Arts is simple: learn to move in harmony with an inanimate object so that it becomes an animated extension of your body, then flow with it in ways that look and feel totally awesome!
