The Ultimate Guide To Vinyasa Yoga

Image
  Vinyasa yoga is a type of yoga that focuses on the flow of breath and movement. It’s a great way to keep your body moving and your mind active, as well as a fun way to get fit! Vinyasa means "breath" or "flow," and vinyasa yoga combines breath with movement in a sequence designed to build strength, flexibility, and balance. The poses are linked by flowing movements from one posture into another without stopping or pausing in between. This creates a dynamic flow between postures that mimics how we move through life: constantly changing poses as we move through our day. It's this constant flow that makes vinyasa so powerful—it trains us how to move through life with ease and grace while keeping us grounded in our bodies and minds at the same time. If you’re new to yoga, our 200 Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh is a great place to start because they require little or no previous experience—they welcome all levels of yogis who want to learn mor...

This system of yoga was created by Sage Patañjali in 200 CE and is based on a series of writings called the Yoga Sutras. The eight limbs of Ashtanga yoga can be described this way: Yama: ethical behavior, self-control, and nonviolence Niyama: religious observances and self-purification Asana: postures that are held for a long time and are done to prepare the body for meditation Pranayama: breath control that is done to prepare the body for meditation Pratyahara: sense withdrawal, where you focus on your breath with your eyes closed and try not to be distracted by sounds or other sensations Dharana: concentration, where you focus your attention on one thing for a long period of time (like when you're reading this blog ...

Here are 5 things you can do after completing a Rishikesh YTTC : Start teaching classes - if this is something that has been on your mind for a while, then now is the perfect time to get started with it!
