Vinyasa Yoga

What exactly is Vinyasa Yoga?

During a vinyasa practice, you flow from one yoga posture to the next. A Vinyasa Yoga practice has a flow, albeit the particular postures and pace of the flow may vary between instructors.

You may also hear the terms Ashtanga yoga and Vinyasa Yoga used interchangeably. While they approach is similar, the main distinction is that Ashtanga sessions always follow the same sequence of postures.

Vinyasa, on the other hand, often goes from one posture to the next at the discretion of the instructor. This shift is in sync with your breathing. It is performed particularly when you exhale or inhale, and it provides the impression that your breath is moving your body.

A fast-paced Vinyasa class may be physically demanding.

The Benefits of Vinyasa Yoga

It Has the Potential to Improve Your Mood

While Vinyasa is a faster-paced practice, it provides many of the stress-relieving advantages of restorative yoga due to its emphasis on utilizing your breath to lead you.

When you learn in how to develop an awareness of your breath and movement, you can carry that skill set with you into your daily life for improved sensations of peace, serenity, and pleasure.

It has the potential to strengthen your muscles.

The focus on transitions between postures separates Vinyasa Yoga from other styles of yoga, such as Bikram. However, this does not preclude you from holding positions for a longer length of time – you will!

Vinyasa Yoga may help with muscular strength and development in this manner. However, if obviously bigger muscles are your main aim, Wickham believes that including some strength training into your regimen would be more successful.

It might provide you with a good cardio workout.

While most Vinyasa courses begin and conclude with Savasana, or Corpse position, once you get going, you don’t want to stop.

According to an August 2013 research published in the Journal of Yoga and Physical Therapy, the quicker speed of Vinyasa Yoga makes it far more demanding and excellent for a lower-intensity cardiovascular exercise.

If you often perform cardio, such as running, bicycling, or swimming, Vinyasa Yoga may not raise your heart rate as much as you’re accustomed to.

It Has the Potential to Improve Your Mobility

Vinyasa Yoga encourages people to move their joints through their complete range of motion and to build strength in those poses.

Enhancing your mobility allows you to move more easily and reduces your chance of injury. Improved mobility may also result in improved body awareness and fewer aches and pains.

It Has the Potential to Improve Your Core Stability

Vinyasa Yoga includes several types of planks, side bends, and twists that all target your core muscles. All of this core engagement leads to greater core strength.

Strengthening your core implies more stability, balance, a decreased chance of injury, and less lower-back discomfort.

Vinyasa Yoga may be a better fit for you if you:

Are acquainted with yoga positions
Have a decent level of fitness
Want to combine a cardio and strength session within a yoga session
Like to be challenged during a yoga session

Keep in mind that you can always attempt one type of yoga and switch to another if you discover that it doesn’t suit your fitness or wellbeing objectives if you’re having trouble selecting which yoga technique is ideal for you.

I have been going to Zen Yoga for years and always loved the brilliant teachers. Since they moved to the new JP studio, they have added lots more classes throughout the week and the facilities are excellent. There is something for everyone from beginners to advanced, and Leona’s high-intensity cardio reformer class has definitely made a massive difference to my strength and stamina. Thanks Zen Yoga team!
