You might have already come across the three letters 'FLY' whilst browsing through our
website. But what do they actually mean and what is their connection to Suryalila? Here's a short introduction:
What is FLY?
Frog Lotus is a Yoga school for teachers. Founded in 2000 by Vidya, Frog Lotus Yoga (FLY) is committed to turning you into a qualified yoga teacher and helping you gain the expertise needed to excel in the future. FLY focuses on teaching a dynamic, creative style of Vinyasa Flow Yoga which is safe and inclusive. The classes begin with pranayama, a long juicy warm-up, some standing flows, inversions (or options), backends, twists, and forward folds.
Did you know that FLY-style dynamic classes are taught every morning by various teachers here at Suryalila?
