Viniyoga in Hollywood

Viniyoga

Viniyoga, by definition is an ancient Sanskrit expression that indicates differentiation, adaptation, and appropriate application of yogic poses, rituals, and studies. Viniyoga is a slower paced, more customized and personalized form of yoga. This style of yoga fosters the development of strength, balance and healing for the mind and body.

Viniyoga is a good choice for beginners, more mature adults, people with disabilities or injuries, or people who are using yoga to supplement other types of pain management for the treatment of diseases or injuries.

Viniyoga primarily involves the principles of asana (postures or poses), pranayama (control of one's breathing), bandha (a binding, bonding, capturing, or putting together), along with creating sounds, chanting, meditating, performing personal rituals and studying viniyogic texts.

Viniyoga is a style that is easily adapted to meet the needs of the individual students. It can be used to enhance the progression of self-discovery as well as individual, personal intellectual and spiritual transformation. Viniyoga instructors are encouraged to discover the needs and interests of their students, and to tailor the viniyoga experience to those needs and interests. The teacher must also recognize the student's current condition, potential, and their mental and physical goals. The teacher will then individualize a yoga routine to assist the student in reaching their goals and potential.

There are four themes that differentiate the difference between Viniyoga and most other forms of yoga: the first theme is called repetition and stay. This describes the use of repeated movements from one pose to another, and holding poses for a certain length of time. The next theme is function over form. This refers to the adaptation of the poses to gain various results. The third theme is breath and adaptation. The movements in this type of yoga are synchronized with certain breathing techniques. Breathing is altered to produce different results. The fourth theme is art and science in sequencing of the poses. Instructors create series of poses in different lengths of time, levels of intensity, and so forth, to attain certain goals.

Again, the viniyoga style is a yoga that can be tailored to the ability level and needs of each student. If you are looking to begin a new program, this is a great place to start. Find an instructor near you to help you create a personalized yoga workout that will strengthen your body, balance your mind, and help you meet your personal mental and fitness goals.
