Yoga Studio At Evolutions

Vinyasa Yin-Based Yoga Studio

Vinyasa yoga connects the breath with a flowing sequence of asanas (postures) to create a dynamic and rewarding practice.

In a Vinyasa yoga studio, classes flow from one pose to the next without necessarily stopping to talk about the finer points of each pose providing a good physical workout as well as a yoga experience. Vinyasa is also referred to as flow yoga, dynamic yoga or vinyasa flow. It is influenced by the ashtanga yoga tradition. Therefore, the flow and moving meditation of a vinyasa practice empowers each student to explore their full potential while developing strength, flexibility, body awareness and an open, clear mind.  Deep relaxation follows each practice.  Vinyasa is a yoga style that includes:

• Linking body movement with breath
• A specific sequence of breath-synchronized movements used to transition between sustained postures
• Setting an intention for one’s personal yoga practice and taking the necessary steps toward reaching that goal

Yin Yoga is a slow paced style of yoga incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

Yin yoga comes from the Taoist tradition and focuses primarily on seated postures that target the connective tissues in the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Poses are held for anywhere between one to 10 minutes. The aim is to increase flexibility and encourage a feeling of release and letting go. It is a wonderful way to learn the basics of meditation and stilling the mind.

“Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an incurable disease that can more or less destroy your joints. My rheumatologist recommended physical therapy, pain management, and orthopedic specialists. I decided on Yin Yoga. Yin has benefitted me in numerous ways. Not only has my range of motion increased, but also more importantly, my joints often feel completely normal. I believe that by holding uncomfortable poses for several minutes like we do in Yin, the joints and connective tissues benefit significantly from the increased blood flow that this stretching generates. I also feel stronger both physically and mentally, which leads to a better ability to deal with discomfort, stress, and pain. My rheumatologist calls the improvement in my condition “remarkable”.
