| Here at The Mnd/Studio we
offer a variety of classes including basic Hatha,
and Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow. We also draw
from elements of Anasura and Jivamutka
traditions.
The Vinyasa style of yoga is
charectorized by a focus on vinyasa, or a
dynamic connecting posture that creates a flow
between the more static traditional postures.
The vinyasa "flow" is a varient of Surya
namaskara, the Sun Salutation.
The standard Vinyasa consists
of the flow from chaturanga, or plan, to
chatarunga dandasana, or low plank, to urdhva
mukha svanasana (Upward facing dog), to adho
mukha svanasana, or Downward facing dog.
The purpose of vinyasa is to create heat in the
body, which leads
to purification of the body through increased
circulation and sweating. It also improves
flexibility as well as tendon and hard tissue
strength, allowing the student to practice
advanced asanas with reduced risk of injury.
