Vinyasa yoga is one of the most commonly practiced forms of yoga out there. Vinyasa yoga is the process of flowing from one pose to another and linking the movements to the breath, creating a sequence. This promotes mindfulness and and breath awareness.
There are different levels of vinyasa yoga classes, and if you are new to the practice, we recommend avoiding advanced classes and sticking to ones aimed for beginners.
During a vinyasa practice, there will be pretty constant movement. You might find that you are not sitting still or holding one pose for very long period of time. The dynamic movement of a vinyasa practice allows you to strengthen the muscles while increasing mobility and flexibility throughout the body. In addition, the process of constantly using the breath allows the lungs and muscles of the diaphragm to strengthen in addition to the rest of the body.
Our video above walks you through a quick snippet of a vinyasa flow and it is designed for beginners. By moving with the breath, you can create a sequence of poses to flow through, allowing you to experience each one for a short amount of time before moving into the next one.
