Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that emphasises fluid movements synchronised with the breath.

 

In Vinyasa Yoga, poses are linked together in a continuous flow, creating a moving meditation that cultivates strength, flexibility, and mindfulness.

 

At the heart of Vinyasa Yoga is a rich philosophical tradition that emphasises the interconnectedness of all things, the impermanence of life, and the importance of living in the present moment.

​

One of the key philosophical principles of Vinyasa Yoga is the concept of vinyasa itself. Vinyasa refers to the synchronized movement of the breath and the body, which creates a flowing sequence of poses that are linked together seamlessly. In Vinyasa Yoga, the breath is the foundation of the practice, serving as a constant reminder to stay present and focused.

​

Another important principle of the philosophy behind Vinyasa Yoga is the concept of impermanence.

 

In Vinyasa Yoga, our students are encouraged to embrace the transitory nature of life and to cultivate a sense of acceptance, calmness and composure,  in the face of change. This principle is embodied in the fluid, flowing nature of the practice itself, which encourages students to move with ease and grace through the transitions between poses which is a tremendous life skill through the transitions of life.

​

Vinyasa Yoga also emphasises the interconnectedness of all things. In Vinyasa Yoga, the movement of the breath and body are seen as reflections of the larger cycles of nature and the universe. Through the practice of Vinyasa Yoga, students can develop a deeper understanding of their place in the world and their connection to all living beings.

​

Another important aspect of the philosophy of Vinyasa Yoga is the concept of Svadhyaya, or self-study.

 

In Vinyasa Yoga, students are encouraged to explore their own bodies, minds, and emotions, cultivating a deep sense of self-awareness and introspection. This practice of self-study can lead to greater clarity, insight, and self-discovery, helping practitioners to live more authentic and fulfilling lives.

​

Finally, Vinyasa Yoga emphasises the importance of living in the present moment. In Vinyasa Yoga, each breath and each movement is an opportunity to connect with the present moment and to cultivate a sense of presence and awareness.

 

By focusing on the present moment, Vinyasa Yoga can help practitioners to let go of worries about the past or the future and to live more fully in the here and now.

​

Through the practice of Vinyasa Yoga, practitioners can cultivate strength, flexibility, mindfulness, and a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
