Slow Flow Yoga
Slow flow yoga links poses with longer breath counts—middle ground between hatha holds and fast vinyasa for controlled recovery movement.
Slow flow yoga links poses with breath but extends transitions and holds—often five to eight breaths per shape—between hatha precision and vinyasa pace. It builds control and time under tension for stabilizers without HIIT-like fatigue.
Useful between heavy squat weeks when athletes want movement but not jump-backs. Match inhale to open, exhale to fold consistently.

How many breaths per pose in slow flow?
Five to eight is common—enough to find alignment without turning the session into static yin.
