Vinyasa Flow is a modern, fast-paced, dancelike form of yoga, in which each breath initiates a new movement. The poses "flow" together and this allows yogis to get a full-body workout. Vinyasa Flow is a more recent style that arose in reaction to the staunch rules of more traditional yoga studios. A fusion of the other styles of yoga, Vinyasa encourages self-expression and free flow movement, so you might see some yogis doing their own thing at points, and in this class, that's totally acceptable. Our Vinyasa Flows are set to loud vibey music that will get your heart racing and blood pumping as you sweat out all the stress of your day.

Feeling run-down? Tired? Tense in ways you just can't release? Well, we have just one question for you: have you tried Yin? Yin is a slow-paced style of yoga, that focuses on deep breathing, and incorporates principles from Chinese medicine. Poses are more passive, supported by a number of props, and held for longer than in other styles of yoga. The goal of yin is to release excess tension in the deep tissues of the body and increase circulation. If you're searching for a way to calm the mind at the end of a long day, or just to get a good night's sleep, Yin Yoga is for you.
Human Nature Studio is a collaborative movement arts school providing instruction in various forms of dance, yoga, and meditative movement techniques. We believe movement arts classes should be affordable and available to the general population. We strive to provide quality instruction at as low a cost as possible.
Located in the downtown region of Flagstaff, AZ, we are a collective, which means several independent small business owners have come together to collaborate and share the same space. Collaboration in art is like living in the wild. If you come across a wild animal in the free, you do not just walk up to it and say hello and slap it on the back like an old friend. You stop, stay still and witness with held breath. Approach Human Nature Dance Studio in the same way, for the wildness of these passions do not come easily and it's beauty can slip away in a heart beat. We encourage you to become a part of that beautiful, fleeting heartbeat -- the cherished collective heartbeat of the artists of Flagstaff, AZ.
"Great art takes work. Not just on the part of the artist, though. Every work of art has an audience. When the artist allows the audience to find its own experiences and its own heart in the art presented, when we see ourselves reflected, art becomes transformative."
—John Tannous on Human Nature Dance Theatre
Human Nature Studio, and its offshoot dance company which bears the same name, Human Nature Dance Theatre, was formed in 1994 by long-time collaborators Delisa Myles, Jayne Lee, and Paul Moore.
