Vinyasa Yoga; Strength & Flow

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga where poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence.

The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa yoga, so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher. Classes may be sequenced around a peak pose such as a backbend, or they might focus on a particular theme such as the chakras or an aspect of yoga philosophy. The class may be dynamic and focus on strengthening postures, or it may be a slower flow with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility in the spine or the hips.

Brunch Pop- Up at Due South

We are launching a pop-up series that is bound to keep dining in Fairfield, fresh and fun!

Our weekly Brunch service is making an immediate jump to a once a month pop-up as part of the new series! This decision comes after months of wildly inconsistent turn out for a service that requires a considerable amount of prep and staff to execute. We love brunch and want to continue to offer it. The pop-up concept allows us to make it even more special and have more fun with our menu and offerings!

Brunch Pop-up: every second Sunday - starts September 8.

Oyster Bar Pop-up: monthly on Wednesdays, next one is August 21st!

Family Supper Club Pop-up: Monthly on Wednesdays, kicking off on September 4th

In the meantime, join us tonight for dinner, 5-9

Vinyasa Yoga; Strength & Flow

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga where poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence.

The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa yoga, so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher. Classes may be sequenced around a peak pose such as a backbend, or they might focus on a particular theme such as the chakras or an aspect of yoga philosophy. The class may be dynamic and focus on strengthening postures, or it may be a slower flow with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility in the spine or the hips.

Vinyasa Yoga; Strength & Flow

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga where poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence.

The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa yoga, so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher. Classes may be sequenced around a peak pose such as a backbend, or they might focus on a particular theme such as the chakras or an aspect of yoga philosophy. The class may be dynamic and focus on strengthening postures, or it may be a slower flow with an emphasis on mobility and flexibility in the spine or the hips.
