what is vinyasa yoga - #25784
I am really curious about what is vinyasa yoga because I've heard a lot of friends talking about it, like how it's great for flexibility and strength. I mean, I didn’t even know there were so many types of yoga! A few weeks ago, I attended a local class. At first, I thought it would be a chill experience with just a lot of stretching but I was totally wrong! The instructor was moving so fast and linking poses together and it was really hard for me to keep up. I felt kinda embarrassed when I kept falling out of poses, especially when we switched to downward dog and then went right into a warrior pose. What is vinyasa yoga supposed to feel like? Like, is it normal to feel this out of breath? Also, I read somewhere that vinyasa is also about breath connection, and I'm really trying to understand that part, too. Am I the only one who felt overwhelmed? When I asked the teacher, they said “just keep practicing” and “that’s what vinyasa yoga is all about,” but I'm not sure if I got it. How can I really know what is vinyasa yoga? I want to find a way to enjoy it instead of feeling like I'm gasping for air! Any tips?
