Vinyasa
Back to all Methods
Vinyasa Yoga is a relatively modern yoga technique rooted in Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga. The word Vinyasa is derived from the Sanskrit term Nyasa-“in a unique way”. Vinyasa practices a smooth, intelligently designed and harmonious transition between different asanas. This style of yoga highlights a union between movement and breathing as we transition from one pose to the next. Krishnamacharya’s (previously mentioned in the Ashtanga series) teachings underly the importance of paying attention to the transitional movements between different asanas, rather than focusing solely on the asana itself, thereby drawing attention to our bodies throughout the exercise. Vinyasa yoga focuses on deep methodical breathing while paying close attention to our body position as we advance through the exercise. This discipline is often dynamic and rhythmic (occasionally accompanied with music), however this is not always the case, the speed and tempo in which Vinyasa is practiced largely depends on the instructor and their method of teaching and can be very gentle and calm.
Power Vinyasa is a specific variation of classical vinyasa, that draws on its principles while incorporating a dynamic exercise. The transitions between asanas are rapid and the poses increase in difficulty throughout the session. The Poses range in difficulty and utilize many different positions including hand balancing exercises and challenging transitions between movements. It is often accompanied by music suited for the exercise.
Slow flow Vinyasa also draws its fundamentals from classical vinyasa, however these exercises are gentler and generally less intense. The pace here is slower and the transitions between different poses incorporate lots of resting positions allowing recuperation. This form of Vinyasa incorporates many gentle stretching positions and is suitable for any level of experience.
