Why Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India is so Popular

If you visit a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India classroom, you will notice a large number of students. Some classes can have as many as 50 students. Compare that to other traditional yoga classes and the number of students hardly ever go above 20. You might be wondering why this happens. The reason is simple. Vinyasa yoga is easier and less monotonous than the other yoga forms. This is not because of having less difficult poses but simply because of how the poses are done. Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India also takes less amount of time to learn to teach unlike the other forms of yoga. It is also safer, especially for students without much flexibility. As a result, more students gravitate towards it naturally. If you are a student without formal yoga training, Vinyasa yoga is a better place to start than some of the others.

Introduction of Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa yoga was introduced centuries ago in the Vedic Age. There are many indications of the principles of Vinyasa in early Vedic texts. But the modern style evolved much later when K Pattabhi Jois introduced it as a more systematic and organized form of the Vinyasa his guru T Krishnamacharya had taught to him. Krishnamacharya taught yoga in the pure Vinyasa style, as he had learned from the ancient text Veda Korunta, with variations and transitions. Whereas he taught Jois the Vinyasa Krama form, or the following of a fixed sequence, that Jois taught as Ashtanga yoga. In all of them, the basic principle of Vinyasa is apparent. That is, they all use transitions to move from one asana to another, using special breathing techniques in conjunction.

What are the Characteristics of Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India

The word Vinyasa has an interesting etymology. Nyasa means “placing or positioning”, while vi means “in a specific way”. Thus, the word vinyasa means a special arrangement. This is reflected in every usage of vinyasa. Vinyasa can mean change or transition, ie, the sequential movement for going from one asana to another. It can refer to each specific position that leads to the asana, too. In fact, what many people do not realize is that each position that a person goes through to get to an asana in Vinyasa yoga is itself an asana. The word can also mean the different styles of yoga that use such transitions to achieve a pose rather than going straight for it. Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India follows certain principles in the asanas, which are described below:

• The defining characteristic of Vinyasa yoga is the use of transitional poses. Every pair of asanas in Vinyasa yoga has a vinyasa to lead from one to the other. This refers to the transitional poses between the asanas. One of the most popular sequences of vinyasa is, in sequence, chaturanga dandasana, urdhvo mukho svanasana and adho mukho svanasana.
• The foundation of Vinyasa yoga is surya namaskar. Surya namaskar A and B are usually done with repetitions as the warmup exercise for Vinyasa yoga, although it is not mandatory.
• Breathing is an important part of Vinyasa yoga. It is the string that holds all the poses together. Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India uses a special breathing technique called Ujjayi breathing for this.

• Vinyasa Yoga is dynamic and stresses on continuous movement. Unlike other yoga forms, where each asana is an independent activity with a pause in between asanas, Vinyasa yoga does not give that moment of rest. You have to move from one asana to another using vinyasa without breaking the pose. 
  
  Other Principals of Vinyasa Yoga

• Depending on the type of Vinyasa yoga and also the yoga guru, the class might consist of the same sequences done without variations, like in Ashtanga Vinyasa. But this will not be so in most cases. Vinyasa yoga does not have a strict formulation. Rather, there are a series of poses in stages. A vinyasa sequence can use any one of the poses in a stage to create the sequence. Each stage takes you from a low point to a peak and then back to the starting point. This cycle represents the cycle of life and the balance of the Universe in Vinyasa yoga.
• Because all the stages are covered in the same sequence instead of going from stage to stage, Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training India classes are complete and well-rounded in itself.
• Vinyasa yoga uses bandhas or energy locks for the efficient flow of pranic energy. By redirecting the energy in the right way, you get better health benefits.
• Vinyasa yoga is often called the “moving meditation”. Vinyasa enforces dhristi or concentration at one point while keeping the body moving. This induces the flow state, helping enhance inner consciousness, staticity and focus.
