Understanding Different Styles of Yoga

VINYASA YOGA EDINBURGH

Vinyasa is a dynamic style of yoga that links movement with the breath. You will flow smoothly from one posture to the next. This will create a rhythmic, almost dance-like, sequence of poses which is both energising and calming. Vinyasa Flow classes can range from a slow, mindful practice to a more vigorous, workout.

Before we explain Vinyasa yoga in more detail, it might be helpful to understand the different styles of yoga and how they differ from one another. Yoga has evolved into many styles over the years, each with its own unique focus, pace, and approach to movement. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most popular styles:

Hatha Yoga

Technically hatha yoga is a general category of yoga that includes the practices of asanas (postures) in tune with breathing techniques. However, it is often used to describe gentle, beginner-friendly yoga classes that move at a slower pace. These classes are excellent for improving flexibility and learning foundational poses.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is a structured and physically demanding type of yoga. Ashtanga yoga follows a set sequence of postures. It’s fast-paced and intense, so is good for people looking for a more rigorous workout.

Yin Yoga

Yin is a slow, meditative style of yoga. Poses that target the deep connective tissues are held for longer periods of time than other styles of yoga.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga usually refers to yoga classes that help muscle recovery and relaxation. Restorative classes use props like blankets and bolsters to support the body in gentle postures, gently stretching sore muscles and promoting deep rest and stress relief.

What is Vinyasa Yoga?

Vinyasa yoga is a style that focuses on synchronising movement with breath, creating a continuous flow from one posture to the next. The name “vinyasa” comes from the Sanskrit, meaning “to place in a special way,” which refers to the mindful transitions between poses.

In a Vinyasa Flow class, you will move through a series of postures that flow together seamlessly, all coordinated with your breath. For example, you may inhale as you raise your arms into a standing pose and exhale as you lower into a forward bend. This connection between breath and movement helps to calm the mind, improve focus, and create a moving meditation.

Vinyasa yoga is called “flow” because of the fluid transitions between poses. The pace can vary, with some classes offering a slow and steady practice, while others are more fast-paced and physically demanding.

What Do You Need for a Vinyasa Yoga Class at Tidal?

While some people like to bring their own equipment for comfort and hygiene reasons, rest assured that all the necessary props and mats will be provided at the studio.

Clothing: Comfortable, breathable clothing: Opt for lightweight, stretchy clothes that allow for a full range of motion. Leggings, yoga pants, or shorts paired with a fitted top work well. Avoid baggy clothes that may restrict movement or fall over your face during inverted poses.

Layers: If you tend to get cold during cool-downs or in savasana (the final relaxation pose), consider bringing a lightweight layer, such as a hoodie or wrap, to stay warm.

Yoga Mat: A non-slip yoga mat is essential for maintaining balance and stability in Vinyasa yoga. If you don’t have one, don’t worry—our studio provides high-quality mats for every class.

Blocks, Straps, and Bolsters: These props can help you modify poses or go deeper into stretches. Again, while all of these props are available at the studio, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
