The Art of Vinyasa
Art of Vinyasa
This immersive weekend intensive will dive deep into the practice of Vinyasa Yoga, blending the art of mindful movement with the ancient wisdom of Karmasu Kauśalam — skillfulness in action. Rooted in the principles of conscious breath and movement, this workshop is designed for yoga practitioners who seek to refine their practice, deepen their understanding of alignment, and explore how mindfulness can be applied to every aspect of life.
The principle of Karmasu Kauśalam is further emphasized by Sūtra 1.20 from the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, which states: Śraddhā-virya-smṛti-samādhi-pradnāḥ-pūrvakāḥ-itarēṣām.
In Vinyasa Yoga, the fluid transitions between poses embody this sūtra. To move skilfully, we must cultivate confidence, vitality, courage, strength, awareness of alignment, wholeness, focused attention, strategic outlook, curiosity, discernment, intelligence on each breath and transition. Sūtra 1.20 teaches us that by developing these qualities, we move toward steadiness and clarity—both on and off the mat. In Vinyasa, every breath and transition offers an opportunity to refine focus, deepen awareness, and bring purpose to our actions.
By integrating the principles of Karmasu Kauśalam and the teachings of Sūtra 1.20, this workshop will guide you to refine the art of skillful action in Vinyasa Yoga. You’ll learn to align your movements with purpose, cultivate concentration, and transform your practice into an opportunity for growth, clarity, and deeper awareness.
Key Themes
Conscious Action: Learn how to be fully present in each movement and transition by applying the principles of Trishtana: Bandha, Ujjayi, and Drishti. This approach will enhance your awareness and deepen your connection to each moment on the mat.
Precision in Practice : Focus on the “pose before the pose” principle, where skillful preparation and energy alignment lead to smoother, more efficient transitions. This method ensures that you approach each asana with clarity and intention. Equally important is how you exit each pose, as this sets up the next movement. Developing accuracy in your transitions and alignment not only enhances your experience in the asana but also reduces the risk of injury. True progress in yoga comes from intentional practice, not from mindless repetition.
Efficiency of Movement : Discover how to direct the flow of energy through your body by engaging the bandhas, coordinating your breath, and maintaining proper alignment. This approach conserves energy, promotes balance, and strengthens the connection between body and mind.
By applying the teachings of Karmasu Kauśalam, you will not only improve your yoga practice but also bring a sense of purpose and mindfulness into all of your actions—whether at work, in relationships, or in daily life.
Who Should Attend
This intensive is suitable for all levels of practitioners—from beginners looking to deepen their understanding of Vinyasa, to more experienced yogis wishing to refine their practice and approach. Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced teacher, you will gain valuable tools to bring greater skill, awareness, and depth into your practice.
Join us for this transformative weekend and take your Vinyasa practice—and your life—to the next level.
