#80 Elements of Vinyasa - Classic Vinyasa Yoga (60min)

BruceYogi Yoga Classes

A Jivamukti Yoga class - focusing on classic Vinyasa Yoga practice.

If you would like to expand your understanding of Vinyasa Yoga, give this class a try.

Vinyasa - "Conscious Placement" - placing our whole being in space and time with awareness and direction.

1) Intent - Sankalpa - or willpower, directing our spiritual being.

2) Gaze - Drishti - steadying, directing and focusing our mental being into one pointed and directed action.

3) Breath - Ujjayi - victorious breath - calming, steadying, energizing and "linking" our mental and physical action energetically.

4) Body - Asana - the physical vehicle for the action, pose to pose, breath by breath, moment by moment.

5) Locks - Bandha - sealing, bringing together, joining all the above "layers of our being", so that the actions are ONE.

The end result of a series of actions is where we consciously direct ourselves, step by step, breath by breath, moment by moment. The practice of Vinyasa yoga trains us to be fully mindful of all of our actions in our life time.

Namaste.

(an accessible, but firm class - practice consciously and with kindness to self, honoring any physical limitations)
