Vinyasa YoGA
What is it?
Vinyasa connects one posture to the next using the breath. This can be thought of as a linking or flowing into postures which is sometimes why it is called flow Yoga.
Vinyasa is synonymous with movement. Moving in and out of postures is the obvious movement, but even in stillness it is represented by the beat of your heart and inhale/exhale of your breath. Breath initiates the movement, which is why you’ll hear it referred to as a breath-synchronized practice
Ujjayi is the breathing technique used. It is done by inhaling and exhaling in a rhythmic manner through the nose, the overall sensation is one of relaxation.
Vinyasa practice generated heat and can add a cardiovascular component not always present in other forms of postural practice.
Yin Yoga
What is it?
Yin is a quiet contemplative practice. It works deeply into our body with passive longer held poses. It targets the deepest tissues of the body – our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones, deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians.
This in contrast to a yang practise such as Vinyasa which targets the muscles. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. Yin yoga offers wonder emotional and mental health benefits.
