Vinyasa

Pros

• I like faster paced classes best, so I do vinyasa
• Later I loved Vinyasa because of the Flowing element but it was good to build a foundation before in order not to slam into to poses without proper alignment.
• More active vinyasa classes taught me to link breath and movement and were a big help.
• This. some weeks it is yin, some weeks it vinyasa, some weeks call for a 26+2
• Yin didn’t work for me but vinyasa has been what the doctor ordered.

Cons

• Iyengar is workshopping, vinyasa is play/ creativity, ashtanga is the final “let’s see the progress of my practice”
• Parent context: I started with vinyasa and was always confused and/or in pain 😭 I found Iyengar and said 🙀
• vinyasa sometimes i find because the classes move faster that, yes, it can distract you from everything else that's happening in your life
• Vinyasa yoga teacher here, about 4 months I had 2 discs in my lumbar spine become herniated. Slowly but surely, I've been getting back into attending Vinyasa classes. HOWEVER, I skip everything and anything that causes discomfort.
• Then I began to do hatha and over the last couple months have been doing pretty much strictly vinyasa. My Si feels aggravated after some classes
