Vinyasa Flow with Amy Paul
***
Come and join us for a weekend of workshops where we will be learning more about Vinyasa Flow, Pranayama (breathing exercises) and Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep, deep relaxation) Vinyasa Flow Literally translated, ‘Vinyasa’ means ‘to arrange’ or ‘to place in a special way’. But often, it is simply translated as ‘flow’, and this can be a useful way to think of Vinyasa. It refers to a carefully arranged sequence of Asana’s (yoga postures). Movement from one asana to the next follows the breath. The result is a smooth, flowing class that become almost dance-like. Vinyasa Yoga is a general name for any flowing style of yoga, and is characterised more by variation than consistency. Although it has evolved from Ashtanga yoga over time and is based on the ‘Surya Namaskara’ (‘salute to the sun’) sequence, teachers develop their own sequences using different Asana’s and creative transitions. As Vinyasa Flow does not adhere to any set yoga systems each class is uniquely different and diverse. Each class is designed to meet the needs of the students who attend. A Vinyasa flow class can vary from a gentle flow, focusing on alignment, breath and deep relaxation to the strongest sweatiest boot camp style workout you have ever experienced. If you enjoy having things a little loose and unpredictable and like to move then Vinyasa Flow is for you.
