WHAT IS VINYASA FLOW YOGA?
WHAT IS VINYASA FLOW YOGA?
Vinyasa Flow is a creative, fluid and dynamic style of yoga, with roots in the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, created by Patthabi Jois in India at the beginning of the 20th century.
What differs Vinyasa Flow from Ashtanga Vinyasa is that in Ashtanga you always practice the postures in the same sequence/order - in Vinyasa Flow you don’t.
In Vinyasa Flow the focus is not on the poses (asanas) themselves, but on the breath and the transitions between the poses.
The breath and the transitions become one. Almost as if they were dancing with each other, creating what can be felt as a moving meditation.
This doesn’t mean you’ll never stay in the postures in a Vinyasa class, but it’s not the focus as in for example in Iyengar and Hatha yoga).
What we love so much about Vinyasa is the creativity and freedom it gives us - both as teachers and practitioners.
Every practice and class is unique!
One class can be focusing on hip openers, another one on backbends and sometimes the class might have a more subtle theme like grounding - where the class will focus on the feet and legs to find stability.
An endless amount of possibilities so to speak!
