What is Vinyasa Yoga & What will you learn?
The word “vinyasa” has different meaning but when we talk about the physical practice of yoga we refer to as a dynamic style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using your breath as a catalyst.
Vinyasa as we know it today can also be called “vinyasa flow” or “flow yoga” and they originate by the style of Ashtanga Vinyasa, the method developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore in the 1940’s. However, in the modern style of vinyasa a variety of postures is offered and two classes are seldom the same and that is the main difference with the Ashtanga method, which has the same sequence every time.
The term Vinyasa derives from the Sanskrit “nyasa”, meaning “to place,” and vi, meaning “in a special way.”. This indicates the consciousness that we bring to each movement in each moment. Vinyasa is therefore a breath syncronized practice that helps us develop a more balanced body and a more steady mind. Vinyasa practice generates heat and can add a cardiovascular component not always present in other forms of postural practice.
During your Vinyasa TTC you will be practicing different classes with a variety of different focuses (strength, balance, flexibility, inversions etc…). Chances are you will be sweating and maybe struggling, but hopefully you will also learn to laugh and have fun about it!
Also, you will be learning about sequencing and alignment during the “art of teaching” classes and you will practice the correct type of breathing needed for this style of yoga (this breathing is known as Ujjayi breath).
