All times are local to the venue · America/Denver
Vinyasa links postures with breath. At Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street lunchtime class, the Gardens describes that approach as suitable for all skill levels, with modifications and variations rather than a published, fixed pose sequence.
The Gardens describes the class as a moving meditation that encourages focus and body awareness. Its outline names a range of aims and elements, including endurance, flexibility and balance across body, breath and mind; it does not specify the order or intensity of poses. The offer of modifications and variations gives participants a sense of the class’s flexibility, but anyone who needs a particular accommodation should contact the Gardens ahead of time.

Instructor Rya Merschat holds E-RYT 200, RYT 500 and YACEP credentials. The Gardens identifies her as an experienced registered yoga teacher and Yoga Alliance continuing education provider; she has taught and practiced in Denver since 1994.
The Gardens characterizes Merschat’s teaching as alignment-based, nurturing and mindful, and notes that her approach draws on her professional dance background. Those details offer more guidance about the class’s teaching style than a pose-by-pose plan, which the listing does not provide.
