Vinyasa yoga

How does Vinyasa Yoga work?

Vinyasa has several meanings. From sanskrit it is translated to ”to place in a special way”. A different interpretation is ”breathing movement system” which refers to movement and breathing being linked together creating flowing consciousness - consciousness that is present in the moment. Every class follows a different structure and intensity. Some are focused on meditation or the spiritual aspect while other classes centers on vigorous poses. Vinyasa yoga is characteristic as it is a way of yoga rather than a specific style.

Generally, you will enjoy vinyasa if you are seeking diverse and physically demanding yoga classes, with a touch of playfulness.
