TAP HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO

We have made it to video #21 of the Yoga Asana Series, where we take a deep dive into the world of Vinyasa!

What is a Vinyasa?

The first half of today’s video focuses on discussion, education and exploration of the word Vinyasa. We explore what it means in the Ashtanga Yoga system. We look at the translation of Vinyasa, or breath with movement. Additionally, we explore how this applies in every posture we practice, from your Sun Salutation sequence to your standing postures. Then, we explore how each movement in and out of those postures is linking breath with movement, or Vinyasa.

Vinyasa Sequences

Next, we look at the Vinyasa sequences we teach and practice in Ashtanga Yoga. With particular attention to learning how to do a vinyasa. Standing vinyasa to seated and seated vinyasa back to seated. We will examine at each of these vinyasa sequences looking at different variations or modifications for working on the sequences themselves. From there we will the look at the full expressions for those two vinyasa sequences.

Vinyasa Drills

And last but certainly not least, I offer drills or exercises you can do to strengthen your body and improve proprioception. These fun drills will help you master these vinyasa sequences. I’m certain you’ll find Video #21 to be a valuable tool for your toolbox for wholeness, especially if you want to learn how to do a Vinyasa. Bookmark the video and refer back to it often when you want to work on your own standing and seated vinyasa sequences.
