What is Flow Yoga?

Flow Yoga, also known as Vinyasa Yoga, is a term that includes several yoga styles. What everyone shares is the focus on synchronizing body and breath movements. This synchronization results in a very stable exercise and increases mental focus. Similarly, Yogi also uses breaths to measure the time he spends in every pose or asana. For example, during a typical address of the Sun, the yogi is inhaled while raising the arms over your head, exhaling while putting your hands on your feet, inhaling and slightly lifting your head, exhale while moving backwards, inhale into the position up, inhale into the position up, then exhale and move to the face down. Once in this pose, the yogi is married and exhale after five deep breaths before reversing the whole process and continuing the specific breath for every movement.

This breath synchronization increases the positive effects of yoga practice.Breath standing helps to maintain the right pace of the entire yoga series. Similarly, breathing control ensures that heart rate remains consistent all the time and prevents yogi in a hurry through positions that are particularly demanding. Breath control also helps maintain a consistent body temperature, which is particularly important because the yogi involves positions that require intensive stretching, because extra heat allows the muscles to further stretch.

In addition to these physical advantages, Flow Yoga has another advantage that it will provide a greater mental focus to the yogi. The constant focus that breath requires yogis to be very aware of every movement, and therefore can help him to keep the right form in the whole practice of yoga. It can also help block distractions, resulting in a certain type of moving meditation.

There are several yoga styles that fall into the category of flow yoga, and some use the concept of vinyasa to larger degrees than others. Styles of yoga that use vinyasa areU Anusara Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Bikram/Hot Yoga, Jivamukti Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Power Yoga. Some of these disciplines use vinyasa from start to finish.

For example, Yoga Ashtanga is a flow yoga style in which Yogi synchronizes every movement of practice. If the yogi keeps his breath, he could determine exactly how many breaths the series would take before training. On the other hand, style, such as bikram yoga, uses vinyasa during each position, but it does not necessarily rely on it between poses.
