Viniyoga/Foundations

About the Class

Viniyoga is a personalized, breath-centered approach rooted in the ancient Nātha yogi tradition and refined by Śrī Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar. Rather than fitting students into a preset style, Viniyoga adapts the tools of yoga—āsana, prāāyāma, meditation, chanting, and mindful study—to each individual’s needs, intentions, and stage of life. The breath serves as the guiding thread, helping students understand their inner condition and measure real change over time. This method honors age, constitution, lifestyle, and ability, offering a truly responsive and transformative practice.  Because Viniyoga is so individualized, classes can look very different from one person to the next. What stays constant is the commitment to alignment with the student’s true needs. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing stress, or deepening your spiritual journey, Viniyoga offers a way to practice that meets you where you are — and helps you move toward where you want to go.
