Moving with the breath
The term vinyasa refers to the alignment of movement with the breath, so although you may also hold poses for a few breaths, you’ll move from one pose to the next using the inhalation and exhalation.
Ujjayi breathing may be practised during Vinyasa classes, this is where the back of the throat is slightly constricted to create a whispering sound like the waves coming to shore. This helps to keep the focus on the breath and the present moment during the practice.
Benefits of a regular Vinyasa yoga practice
- The steady cycle of inhales and exhales provides you with a calming, mental focal point.
- The continual movements, from one pose to another, gives you an added cardiovascular benefit creating internal heat.
- Increased strength and flexibility - whether slow or fast-paced, Vinyasa classes are a great workout for your body.
