Vinyasa: to place, in a special wayVinyasa Flow yoga offers a rhythmic and energetic approach to yoga. Dynamic, intelligent sequences of postures are linked by breath, integrating self-awareness and alignment while creating a unique balance of strength and flexibility. Exploring the harmonious sensation of allowing the breath to initiate and inspire movement, this creative yoga practice rejuvenates body and mind. Vinyasa Flow classes combine classical and diverse sun salutations to warm-up the body with breath awareness to focus the mind. Gentle flows build up gradually to more vigorous sequences, and conclude with deep relaxation. Variations are offered to allow participants to modify the practice to individual levels of fitness and experience, and to accommodate any injuries or specific challenges. Vinyasa Flow is often referred to as "meditation in motion". Opening to the natural rhythms of life through the breath creates a deeper awareness of reality and the nature of change. Understanding how one pose leads to and compliments another is central to the transformational process of yoga and the evolution of consciousness. The breath-driven movement leads to the stillness of deep relaxation, allowing the physical practice of yoga to serve as an invaluable tool for self-realization and reflection. |
