Movement and breath

Vinyasa yoga in Nantes

A dynamic yoga where every movement follows the breath: strength, mobility, balance and a clear mind.

Vinyasa yoga

Vinyasa is a dynamic style of hatha yoga. Poses flow into one another in a continuous stream, synchronised with the breath: one movement on the inhale, another on the exhale. The word comes from Sanskrit: vi, "in a special way", and nyasa, "to place".

Unlike classic hatha yoga, you do not hold one pose for long: the body stays in continuous, almost meditative movement. And unlike the fixed series of ashtanga, vinyasa flow lets the sequences change and adapt to the level of the group.

The foundations of the practice

  1. 01

    Ujjayi breathing

    A steady breath with a soft sound in the throat that warms the body from the inside and sets the rhythm.

  2. 02

    The flow

    No long pauses: poses follow one another without interruption, in continuous movement.

  3. 03

    Adapted sequences

    The sequence changes from class to class and adjusts to the level of the group.

What the practice brings

Strength and stamina

Active transitions strengthen the arms, legs and core, and raise the heart rate.

Mobility and balance

Fluid work on the joints improves the flexibility and stability of the whole body.

Less stress

Syncing movement and breath helps quiet the mind and brings you back to the present moment.

Questions about vinyasa

01Is vinyasa suitable for beginners?

Yes. I always offer a simpler and a more demanding version of each pose, so beginners and experienced students alike find their place.

02Are there any contraindications?

Pregnancy, acute joint or spine injuries and serious cardiovascular disease. In these cases, ask your doctor for advice first.

03How is it different from hatha and ashtanga?

Hatha holds poses longer, ashtanga follows fixed series. Vinyasa keeps the continuous movement of ashtanga, with free sequences adapted to the group.
