Vinyasa Yoga Classes in Leicester

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and fluid style of yoga that emphasises the connection between movement and breath. Practitioners transition smoothly from one pose (asana) to another, creating a seamless "flow" of movements that are synchronised with the breath. This style is known for its diversity and can include a wide range of poses, allowing for a variety of sequences that can be tailored to different levels of ability and focus.

In Vinyasa Flow at our Leicester studio, the gaze is directed towards a specific point during each pose, which differs according to the position. For example, in forward bends, the gaze might be directed towards the nose or the toes. This focused gaze helps to reduce distractions, allowing the practitioner to remain present and centred during the flow. It also aids in maintaining the balance and alignment of the body, as where the eyes go, the body tends to follow.

Incorporating gaze (drsti) into Vinyasa Flow yoga enhances the meditative aspect of the practice, turning it into a moving meditation that can lead to a deeper state of concentration and introspection. The combination of movement, breath, and focused gaze helps to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and connection between the body, mind, and spirit, which is a central aim of yoga.
