 | When you first start a yoga practice, there is a lot of unfamiliar vocabulary to get used to. Pranayama, asana, vinyasa: what does it all mean? | |
Yoga Glossary
Yoga speak is one part Sanskrit and one part anatomical vocabulary. Wondering if you should head to Mysore or kirtan at your local studio? Check the yoga glossary to find out.
| Definition of Pranayama
Pranayama refers to breathing exercises, and is a big part of a developing yoga practice.
| Definition of Vinyasa
Vinyasa can be used to describe to any flowing style of yoga, but also refers to a specific series of poses.
| Pose of the Week - Reverse Warrior
 If you're ever at a loss for a nice little standing flow, try going back and forth between reverse warrior and extended side angle a few times. Holding your legs steady will build heat while the movement of your upper body will loosen up your spine. It's a really good feeling.
