Vinyasa means breath-synchronized movement. The breath is the heart of this discipline and links asana to asana in a precise order. By synchronizing movement with breathing and practicing Mula and Uddiyana Bandhas (locks), an intense internal heat is produced. This heat purifies muscles and organs, expelling unwanted toxins as well as releasing beneficial hormones and minerals. The breath regulates the vinyasa and ensures efficient circulation of blood. The result is a light, strong body.

All yoga provides a profound understanding of the mechanics of ones own body. Regular yogapractice releases tension throughout the body, improves posture, tones muscles, creates strength, balance and flexibility. Yoga also provides one with a very tangible way of understanding how to maintain psychological balance and harmony.
