Isnt yoga always/mostly about combining breath with movement? For example also in hatha yoga vor whatever styles exist. (I am a yoga noob;)
Thankyou! I knew you’d have an answer for me!
Sorry, but your Sanskrit is off.
Nyasa is renunciation. The prefix "vi" is "Viseshena", meaning "Special". Vinyasa means "To Renounce in a special way".
Sannyasa is a similar word. Nyasa means renunciation. "San" prefix means "Sampoorna", meaning "Everything" or "Complete". So Sannyasa means "Complete Renunciation".
Similarly, there are words such as "Vimoodha". "Moodha" means "An Idiot", and "Vimoodha" means "A Special Idiot".
Can you tell me more about kauit yoga?
Sanskrit is so welcomed when learning or practicing poses. Love that you include them.
Hey, could you please share something regarding weight gain ?
You’re so amazing!
When u do a pose is there ever a wrong way to do it? Are those poses where we have to be careful for injury? Or do we just do what feels right ? Thank youn
Did she say Mufasa? Hahaha I'm dead
Love your shirt!!! Thank you so much for all your help!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha when you said your shirt still fits you from fifth grade!😂 Thanks for this video because I wanted to know exactly what vinyasa was and this cleared it up!💓🙏💓
Hi Adriene! I love that you took the time to expand on yoga vocabulary and what it might mean to deepen your practice. I would love to see other videos or blog posts like this exploring a little about the history of yoga and the other limbs of yoga or maybe just recommendations for where to learn more, just so people know what’s out there!
As a note, I’m a new subscriber, so I’m not sure what you’ve already touched on besides seeing your Pranayama playlist and blogpost on Ahimsa.
May 2020!! Yeh I'm one of those people!!
What’s chataranga? Probably I spellt it wrong .. sorry 😄
3:03 personal timestamp for the usual Vinyasa flow
My first thought was that your shirt was really pretty
Very well explained and a pleasure to listen to your calm modulated voice. Thanks
S
thank you! this is really helpful, I love the way you explain things
Vinyasa, mufasa, move fasta… or slow right down. Great explanation, great shirt. Thanks for being such a sweetener 😀 xx
This is definitely a term that benefits from deeper understanding, thank you!
I loved it VIYASA VINYASA !!! I remember I was called by a Chinese university to set modules AND they all were into something which they would CALL yoga 🧘♀️ I taught em what real VINYASA IS – transition and awareness with breath n on breaths n living the intention or setting the intentions xxx loved it
Who’s watching in 2021?! 🥰🙌🏼
Came to learn about it via your link in today’s Breath email. Nice seeing these old vids 🙂 Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Very cool T shirt !!! 😁
Ready to do day 7 . And this was a great way to start . Thank you .
Love this! Number 1 because you are wearing a shirt from 5th grade. Second, it makes so much sense. Think of the english word “movement” and how many definitions it has, and how casually, as native english speakers, we sprinkle that word throughout our conversations. Movement…. physically changing your position. Movement…. a section of music. Movement… a theme for which a number of people share support. Move….. to effect someone or something emotionally. Move… to take something from one place and put it in another. So for someone whose first language is something other than english the word move could be very confusing as well.
Thank you for these explanations and the conversation. This is how you are bringing the world together and helping us open our eyes to those things that we assume people understand but about which we should take extra care and time to understand.
Cheesy is good, especially when done well – also I love the shirt!
I'm always wondering wat the words mean…thank you!
Incredible to see how you developed and calmed down in 5 years, Adriene! I love your videos and it's always so comforting! Thanks for your great work, effort and sharing so much love. I really admire you, love to be in BREATH sessions every day! Keep it up!
Day 7 done! 🙂
This is an amazing community. You guys always help us to understand what you're talking about and care about our progress. I love your videos and am learning a lot and finding my inner peace. Love the t-shirt btw!
lol i have been interpreting vinyasa as a sort of a 'palate cleanser' between the different parts of a yoga practice – nice to know the actual, wider meaning, thanks!
so nice to understand the broad meaning of Vinyasa and it's applicability to various movements.
Love u
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!!!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it! You’re so adorable “mufasa” lmao 😂 I also was wondering if you made that shirt so thank you for the share! The light in me honors the light in you! “Namaste!”
Okay Imcurrently in an advanced yoga class. I love watching your videos. I watch man flow yoga as well, but Dean is not nearly as pretty ☺️
