The captivating views of tropical fish around you as you move from one pose to the next will bring you even closer to a zen-like state of mind. Jessica promises this Vinyasa flow practice will provide physical and mental rewards, only found under the sea.

During the one-hour vinyasa flow class, yoga instructor Jessica Olie will lead participants in a unique session performing downward dogs and, perhaps, the fish or dolphin pose, surrounded by schools of colourful, tropical fish swimming in a liquid azure sky.

According to Jessica, “the most beautiful part of the practice is that you take what you need from it, and it gives you what you need.”

The goal of the vinyasa flow class will be to “improve flexibility, boost muscle strength, power up the immune system and produce an inner calm.”
