In the last post we saw what Vinyasa Yoga or Flow Yoga is .In fact Vinyasa Yoga is quite popular these days as it promises a more intense workout where your body really sweats and your arms and thighs get a wonderful workout like working out in a gym .
Also Vinyasa Yoga is called Flow Yoga as it is continuous movement based like a flow and there is no rest in between the postures .Some may even call it as movement meditation .Vinyasa Yoga became popular with Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga of Pattabhi Jois but soon this Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga was started to get modified in to Power Yoga first which became a big hit in America and taking that clue many Ashtanga practitioners started their own version of Vinyasa Yoga or Flow Yoga and the elements are same in all these Yoga i.e they start with typical Ashtanga Surya Namaskar A ,B and then they have their own standing /sitting /back bending sequences with no rest in between . They vary with regard to their intensity of movements , no. of postures in the sequence , time held in each posture etc etc .
Vinyasa Yoga comes in various formats now from the simple Anusara Flow to the High Intensity Ashtanga Yoga ,Power Yoga and recent Shiva Rea's Prana Flow Yoga .Also included in the list is Seane Corn's own version of Vinyasa Yoga , Sadie Nardinie's Core Vinyasa that focuses more on working out the core region , Kathryn Budig's own version of a Vinyasa Yoga flow that focuses more on arm balances etc and so on the list continues .
