Why I love Vinyasa Yoga

There are three basic elements in yoga: Asanas, Pranayama and Concentration. Asanas are poses which exercise the front, back and side of the body equally.

Vinyasa yoga is characterized by yoga poses that are connected in a sequence so that they flow smoothly and seamlessly into one another. (This is why it’s also sometimes called “flow yoga.”) Vinyasa yoga is a popular branch of contemporary yoga and encompasses a diverse range of practices, including power yoga and Ashtanga. Flow yoga is very different from Hatha yoga, which involves breaks between yoga poses. 

Deep, controlled, and energized breathing is crucial to Vinyasa yoga as each move is synced to the breath. This serves as the anchor for flowing from one position to the next. 

Because the yoga poses are connected and performed in a flowing sequence, once you start a Vinyasa yoga session, you won’t stop until the end of the program. It can feel like one long dance, with your breath as the music that sets the pace and rhythm.
