Vinyasa Yoga is both a great place to start for beginners and
for those seeking a continued challenge. If you like to focus on
the power of breathing and flowing movement through poses, you will
enjoy the Vinyasa style. Vinyasa yoga synchronizes movement to the
breath. This style is also called flow yoga because of the smooth
way that the poses run together. The breath becomes an important
component as you move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an
exhale. Vinyasa is literally translated as meaning
"connection.”
Like all styles of yoga, Vinyasa has both mental and physical
benefits. The synchronized breathing relaxes your mind and helps to
release any blockage of energy flow throughout your body.
