Flow is the essence of our being. It involves being present to every breath that we take and to our collective universal breath. In alignment-based flow yoga we move in a linear synchronicity, patterning our bodies to the alignment of yoga asanas.

While this moving in a linear fashion is incredible learning and discipline, allowing our bodies to gain connectivity for mind, body and spirit, we tend to focus on this disciplined, serious adult learning of movement. We ignore our innate developmental movement patterns, the spiraling, circular forms of movement that are essential to our innate selves. We are also innately attuned to moving from a place of natural intelligence, in a spiraling, ecstatic form of movement that we call “Super flow.”

Drawing inspiration from Yoga, ancient martial arts, dance, surfing, ski and snowboard maneuvers, Super Flow is an ecstatic form of movement. Set to music, it starts off slowly allowing ourselves to feel centered and open in our bodies. Gradually we build up in intensity, spiraling back in touch with the joy of movement.

Superflow is not a replacement of Yoga as we know it, but a powerful complement to the regular yoga practice. It Offers a little more exuberance and a little less introverted energy. It complements static movements with rhythmic flow. You will sweat, release and feel the life force pulsing through you.

Eoin Finn has been a disciple of Yoga, Eastern and Western philosophy, martial arts and meditation since 1987 and has been teaching Yoga for over a decade.

First introduced to Yoga while at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Finn discovered the benefits of yoga as a great warm up to extreme sports such as mountain biking, surfing and windsurfing. From there, Finn’s travels to France, Hawaii and Japan developed his yoga practice, eventually leading to his commitment to teaching, sharing and promoting yoga, health and bliss.

Deemed as one of Vancouver’s best yoga instructors, Finn’s popularity has spun itself into a successful yoga and wellness portal-site, vancouveryoga.com, his Platinum-level Power Yoga DVD in 2001, best selling, Platinum-level Power Yoga for Happiness DVD in 2003 and the recent Pure & Simple Yoga DVD in 2006.
