Vinyasa is a series of sequenced poses that seamlessly flow together. You’ll experience both foundational postures and creative variations that will strengthen, open, and restore your body and mind.
“Vinyasa” translates from Sanskrit as “to place in a special way.” As such, YTX’s vinyasa class encourages the student to be mindful of every movement and its connection within the arc of the practice.
Students are encouraged to gauge the intensity of their practice based on what they need at any given moment with a focus on smooth, mindful transitions and movement always guided by the breath.

A slow, mindful practice bringing the body into balance and increasing natural range of motion. Most poses are done while seated or lying down, supported by props and held in stillness for several minutes.
This class targets the connective tissues, such as ligaments and fascia, along with the energetic systems of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing its natural range of motion. As we move into stillness, we bring body, breath and soul into harmony. It’s a perfect complement to a more physical practice. You will leave class feeling refreshed, renewed and restored.

Reserve your Room…
Join me in Sri Lanka, the land of epic beaches and pristine national parks, surfing and safaris, elephants, whales and sea turtles. Sri Lanka is a mythical and magical location included in the great hero’s story of Hanuman’s great leap to rescue Sita, and to save love. It is also said to be magnetically and energetically ideal for meditation and spiritual growth, and from my experience is a place where it is easy to feel possibility and inspiration.

Choose this yoga and meditation retreat to finish out your year with play, self-care and community, and to leap into 2026 with renewed inspiration and direction. Invest in your personal growth and potential, take time to experience natural beauty in a new land, practice yoga twice daily. Experience meditation and breath work that support your process as you ground into what you’ve learned as you close out this year. Then open your horizons to what you want to create and experience in the New Year to come.

300 Allen St, Austin, TX 78702
$50/session
The You Project: Austin is a 12-week journey of rediscovery, shedding the shadows of conditioning so you can reconnect with your inherent nature and embody lasting change. Within a supportive community, you’ll move beyond old patterns and open to a deeper, more authentic expression of self.
Rooted in Eastern philosophy and informed by Western psychology, The You Project: Austin bridges ancient wisdom and modern science to guide real, embodied change. Each practice is crafted to touch every layer of your being: physiological, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual…So transformation becomes something lived, not learned.
Through neuro-somatic regulation, integrative processing, ritual, and community care, you’ll explore your system’s innate capacity to heal, grow, and transform, creating a field where release and reconnection unfold naturally, and lasting change takes root from the inside out.
Your guides, Gioconda Parker and Brenda Lee Gauthier, bring decades of experience in yoga, psychology, and trauma-informed practice.
Together, they hold space with skill and compassion, weaving science, soul, and lived wisdom into a grounded, integrative experience that supports both mind and body while honoring the spirit of who you truly are.
Join us anytime up to January 13th. Full details and registration here.
After that time, you can join the waitlist for our next series, send an email to gioconda@giocondayoga.com to join the waitlist.

A breath-led yoga practice that invites you into moving meditation and embodied presence. Vinyasa at Present Practice is a container for self-exploration—where conscious movement, intentional transitions, and mindful pacing create space to connect with your innermost Self.
Each class is shaped by the teacher’s lineage, training, and lived relationship with yoga. Some practices are more fluid and continuous, flowing breath-to-movement, while others emphasize alignment, stability, and functional transitions. All are grounded in yogic tradition and guided with care, clarity, and depth.
Every Vinyasa class shares a few core rituals: beginning with breath and intention, weaving mindfulness throughout the practice, and closing with a nourishing savasana. Uplifting music supports the energetic arc of class, while hands-on assists and thoughtful use of props are offered to support each student’s unique practice and journey.
This is a feel-good, full-body practice that balances effort and ease—designed to meet you where you are and invite you deeper into the experience of yoga.
