Vinyasa means uninterrupted flow in sanskrit.Vinyasa Yoga is a flowing sequence that links one asana to the other connecting breath with movement.This breath synchronized movement is co-ordinated with inhalation and exhalation.Breath are held for a period of time for each posture.
Purpose of Vinyasa Yoga is to create heat in the body to relieve tightness in muscles, ligaments,joints and tendons while the sweat remove impurities out of the body.This helps to cleanse the individual internally both on spiritual and physical level.
Some of the very popular yoga like Ashtanga and Power Yoga are based from Vinyasa method.Vinyasa Yoga offer more variety in sequencing than a traditional Ashtanga, slower than a Power Yoga class but more vigorous than Iyengar.
This style of yoga is more suitable for intermediate students looking for something more challenging. Vinyasa instructor bring their own individuality to the class like music, chanting and poetry making each Vinyasa class different and unique from the other.There is no sequence to follow and students move from one pose to another on an inhalation and exhalation.
Different teacher teaches different movement but almost all classes include sun salutation, standing poses, stretching, balancing, inverted poses and ujjayi breathing.It may be a slow or fast paced class depending on the instructor.Practice of Vinyasa Yoga helps to strengthen the body, improve flexibility balance the mind.
