Vinyasa yoga

Flowing, breath-led movement

Vinyasa links one pose to the next with the breath, so a class feels continuous rather than stop-start. Sequences change from week to week, and most classes build heat through standing shapes before slowing down.

Pace
Moderate to brisk
Room
Room temperature, sometimes warm
Intensity
Medium to high

What to expect

  • Sun salutations early on to warm up.
  • One movement per breath for much of the class.
  • Standing sequences repeated on both sides.
  • A cool-down of floor stretches and five to ten minutes of savasana.

Good to know

  • Class content varies by teacher — vinyasa is a method, not a fixed sequence.
  • If chaturanga bothers your shoulders, knees down is the standard variation.
  • A slow flow class is the same style at half speed and a good entry point.

Who it suits

People who like to move and sweat, and anyone who gets restless holding a pose for two minutes. Manageable for beginners if the class is labelled slow flow or all-levels.
