Movement can be a form of meditation. In Vinyasa Yoga, asanas are performed repetitively, allowing you to get into a flow. Let us take a closer look at the benefits and characteristics of Vinyasa Yoga.
The perfect Flow
Vinyasa is creativity in motion. There is no single perfect flow, but you often sense that one asana naturally follows the next. Breathing flows synchronously with the movements. When everything happens on its own, when you do not have to think about the sequence and can be complete with yourself, your movements, and your breathing, the flow is perfect.

Vinyasa is a part of Ashtanga yoga which was introduced by Sri Tirumala Krishnamacharya. It strives to bring breathing and movement into a flow and harmony. Vinyasa yoga, flow yoga, or power yoga are rejuvenating, keep you flexible and bring you into a state of flow.
The difference in Vinyasa
Ashtanga Yoga consists of a total of 6 fixed series. The asanas are not interchangeable in sequence and each sequence of exercises requires the highest level of body control. Vinyasa is freer in comparison. Flows, exercise sequences find a creative approach and create space for self-realization.
