What it is:

Vinyasa yoga is a style of yoga that emphasizes the connection between breath and movement, creating a flowing sequence of poses. 

• How it works:

  In a vinyasa class, you'll move from one pose to the next, often using a specific sequence like the sun salutation, with each movement synchronized with your breath. 

• Benefits:

  Vinyasa yoga can increase strength, flexibility, and stamina, while also promoting mindfulness and stress reduction. 

• Variations:

  Vinyasa yoga encompasses various styles, including Ashtanga and power yoga, each with its own unique approach to the practice. 

• Key Principles:

  • Breath-Movement Coordination: Each movement is synchronized with the breath, creating a flowing, dynamic practice. 

  • Continuous Flow: Poses are connected seamlessly, creating a continuous movement rather than holding static positions. 

  • Variety of Poses: Vinyasa classes often feature a wide range of poses, catering to different skill levels and preferences.
