What is a Vinyasa Flow?

Vinyasa Yoga is a type of yoga that focuses on flowing movement and breath. Instead of holding poses for a long time, you move smoothly from one pose to the next, like a gentle dance. The word "Vinyasa" comes from Sanskrit and means "to place in a special way," which refers to how each movement connects to the next with purpose.

​

In a Vinyasa class, you’ll follow a sequence of poses, matching each movement with your breath. For example, you might inhale as you lift your arms and exhale as you fold forward. This creates a steady, calming rhythm that helps your body feel strong and your mind feel focused.

​

One of the best things about Vinyasa Yoga is that it can be adjusted for all levels. Whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years, there are always ways to modify poses to fit your body. Some classes are slow and gentle, while others are more energetic and challenging.
