VINYASA FOR BEGINNERS
A practice for those who want to start their adventure with Ashtanga Yoga, but also for those who have been practicing for a longer period of time and want to break the routine, improve their practice and gain a new perspective.
Vinyasa is a guided class in which we perform several standing asanas, repeating them two or three times. Each time, we alternate them with a vVinyasa (Sun Salutation without pausing for five breaths in Downward-Facing Dog).
The goal is to develop stability and work in the asanas, and to familiarize ourselves with their sequence. Each repetition allows us to isolate and focus on individual elements, such as: asana alignment/stability, upper body work, breathwork, and Drishti work. Only when we are standing stable and know how to position ourselves can we begin to pay attention to the finer details.
A practice in which each Asana is interwoven with a full Vinyasa (easier or more difficult – depending on the level of advancement of the practitioner) causes strengthening of the entire body, intense cleansing (through sweating) and deeper concentration of the mind, as well as improving the efficiency of the heart and unblocking the breath (Vinyasa, through specific movement, activates the respiratory muscles and the diaphragm).
