Vinyasa yoga is a style of yoga that emphasizes fluid, flowing movements that are synchronized with the breath. The word "vinyasa" means "to place in a special way," and in vinyasa yoga, poses are linked together in a sequence that creates a dynamic, flowing practice.

Vinyasa yoga classes typically start with a warm-up and a series of sun salutations to help build heat and prepare the body for the more challenging poses to come. The class then progresses through a series of standing, seated, and balancing poses, with a focus on linking each movement to an inhale or an exhale.

One of the benefits of vinyasa yoga is that it provides a cardiovascular workout while also helping to increase strength, flexibility, and balance. The flowing, rhythmic movements can also be a powerful meditation in motion, helping to quiet the mind and promote a sense of inner calm.

Vinyasa yoga can be adapted to all levels of experience, from beginner to advanced. Teachers may offer modifications or variations of poses to make them more accessible or more challenging, depending on the needs of the students in the class.
