At times, I feel like a simple Yoga routine that does not require me to lie on the floor – perhaps because I am outside or I don’t have a Yoga mat with me.
This simple standing Vinyasa flow by Danielle Walsh is a standing routine I very much enjoy and tend to go back to every now and so often.
What is Vinyasa Flow Yoga?
Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a school of Yoga that is based on movement, constantly flowing from one Yoga pose to the next, while closely focusing on the breath.
There’s a wide variety of Vinyasa flow styles out there to suit the different skill and fitness levels of different Yogis, and what their current needs and wants are.
Classes range from Slow Flow Yoga, to Beginner Vinyasa Yoga and to Power Flow Yoga. However, while there can be a huge difference between varying Vinyasa Yoga classes, what connects them is the flow and regular breath.
Is Vinyasa Yoga Suitable For Everyone?
If you are interested in attending a Vinyasa flow class, it’s best to check their requirements out first to make sure that they will not be overwhelmed.
This is because Vinyasa flow classes can be very fast and demanding. The constant between poses requires a certain level of fitness and also skill to find the right alignment fast and without injury. There’s a significant difference here from other Yoga styles, for example Hatha Yoga. This is focused on individual poses and their correct alignment, and poses are held for a longer time.
On the other hand, there are many slow, gentle or beginner Vinyasa flow classes that will fit the bill for most and will be a great place to start.
