Try a vinyasa class sometimes! It challenges and delights you in different ways. :)starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825489876263084333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30675101.post-34544640069811444402007-07-22T17:49:00.000-07:002007-07-22T17:49:00.000-07:00So can the sun salutation sequence be termed vinya...So can the sun salutation sequence be termed vinyasa?<BR/><BR/>Wonder if I'll ever get to vinyasa?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>UmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30675101.post-255515933359684532007-07-20T02:27:00.000-07:002007-07-20T02:27:00.000-07:00Hi J, Yoga can be so humbling ya!

Give me another 6 months with vinyasa and I may summon up enough courage to try Ashtanga! :)starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825489876263084333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30675101.post-41497221495563574712007-07-19T19:44:00.000-07:002007-07-19T19:44:00.000-07:00Hi Starlight,I totally understood where you are co...Hi Starlight,<BR/><BR/>I totally understood where you are coming from and how your thought resonates with mine as a beginner to Ashtanga after practising and still am practicing Bikram yoga for 2 years now - it offers a sense of humility no matter how many yoga years I have under our belt (I'm still a baby at this!)<BR/>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30675101.post-12305633608877280042007-07-18T19:32:00.000-07:002007-07-18T19:32:00.000-07:00Hi Uma, Vinyasa is a yoga style where you flow fro...Hi Uma, <BR/><BR/>Vinyasa is a yoga style where you flow from one pose to the next, unlike Hatha where you hold each pose for a length of time. A typical vinyasa sequence would be Downward Dog - Plank - Chaturanga - Upward Dog - Downward Dog - Warrior 1 - Standing Forward Bend - Roll Up and Arch - Forward Bend - Downward Dog.....and all over again for another four times, alternating the legs in Warrior 1. It looks simple enough, especially for someone who hates holding postures but in reality, it's more difficult than Hatha. Requires more strength and stamina.starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825489876263084333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30675101.post-86471498534256714452007-07-18T17:49:00.000-07:002007-07-18T17:49:00.000-07:00What's vinyasa?Enjoy the rush, it all(your experie...What's vinyasa?<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rush, it all(your experience in this post) sounds familiar to me as a beginner.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>UmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
