Vinyasa Yoga

[OakLeaf]

I thought vinyasa just referred to the flow, so that the transitions between poses are given attention as well as the poses themselves? So vinyasa classes are more dynamic, vs. held posture classes where you might stay in each pose for one to three minutes at a time? I know there are vinyasa programs at Kripalu.


I think for a beginner, the teacher is a lot more important than the style or the class format. Since you've already got a good grounding in starting your alignment from the extremities, that should help you a lot in getting started. Anyway, have fun!
