For example, if you have knee osteoarthritis and the posture requires a full squat, you can modify the practice or do a completely different movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you don\u2019t have any breathing problems, you can do <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here\u2019s what to expect with this holistic healing discipline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction_to_Viniyoga\"><\/span><b>Introduction to <\/b><b>Viniyoga<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes yoga accessible to everyone, not just those who are very flexible. It gives you the tools to customize your practice and takes into account your distinct mental and physical state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every individual has a unique personality, body and mind, memories, ways of thinking, reactions, and circumstances in life. They also respond differently to meditation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selects the proper tools of yoga, such as mantra, meditation, breathing, and movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, a yoga therapist observes their student and modifies the practice. Every week as a student, you can experience unique variations of yoga postures, meditation goals, and structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Viniyoga\"><\/span><b>What is <\/b><b>Viniyoga<\/b><b>?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is an approach to yoga where yoga therapists personalize practices to suit every student. It is a form of Hatha yoga. It synchronizes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breath and movement<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in both static and dynamic asana (poses), incorporating meditation and pranayama (yogic breath regulation).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you think about yoga, the first thing that probably comes to mind is perfect body alignment &#8211; learning how to align the spine, shoulders, head, ankles, knees, hips, and toes. However, many people tend to forget that the Yogis didn\u2019t talk about this kind of alignment. They focused on aligning the body, breath, and mind. This is what we follow in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tradition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human body is constantly changing. You can experience different health problems as you age, such as muscle imbalances, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, neurological complications, and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, it\u2019s almost impossible to keep every part of your body perfectly aligned all the time. This approach to yoga is also considered a form of ethnomedicine. It uses traditional practices from Indian culture to improve wellness.

Its lineage can be traced back to the 9th century to the Great Yogi \u015ari N\u0101thamuni. It is believed that his ancient and classical texts, the Yogarahasya (i.e. Secrets of Yoga), mysteriously disappeared. However, the knowledge was passed down from generation to generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t until the legendary Tirumalai Krishnamacharya rediscovered the sacred texts that they became popular once again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yogi Krishnamacharya became the founder of modern yoga. He was one of the most influential gurus of the 20th century and made the practice and its philosophies available to the general public and spread it around India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His son and successor, T. K. V. Desikachar, continued the legacy. He spread this holistic healing discipline around the world. The teachings of N\u0101thamuni are the main inspiration behind this tradition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The origin is based on the concept that practitioners adapt all <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga poses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tailored to the needs of every student. The poses should be appropriate to their body type, psychological well-being, and purpose (or Dharma) in life.

Here\u2019s a quick look at its four main principles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Function_Over_Form\"><\/span><b>Function Over Form<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us believe that a certain pose, career, or specific spiritual practice can provide the ultimate sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment. We believe these things can \u201cfill in the blanks\u201d about everything we\u2019ve been searching for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we fail to notice that the true meaning of peace can only come from within. That is one of the core principles of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Viniyoga.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This practice focuses on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">function over form.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is less about what the form looks like from the outside and more about what\u2019s happening on the inside. It\u2019s here to provide functional wellness so you can keep practicing it with your changing emotional and mental state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Movement_with_the_Breath\"><\/span><b>Movement with the Breath<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The poses don\u2019t need to be perfect; it\u2019s the breathing that matters. Your breath becomes a compass. It commands the flow of every twist, stretch, and extension. With every cycle, you coordinate your body and guide the rhythm of your movements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathing patterns are connected to the central nervous system. Mindful breathing may allow you to regulate your parasympathetic and sympathetic states. You can calm yourself in the present moment. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10622034\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repetition_and_Stay\"><\/span><b>Repetition and Stay<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding a pose and changing a pose are both patterns we use when doing yoga. For example, you may be using repeated poses to warm up the muscles, but you\u2019re also doing stretches to release tension and inflammation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga poses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> require repetition to boost blood flow to the muscles and contract the opposing muscles as you flex and stretch your body. The longer you remain in a pose and the more you repeat it, the easier it is to lengthen the muscles after a warm-up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Art_and_Science_of_Sequencing\"><\/span><b>Art and Science of <\/b><b>Sequencing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sequencing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps release and prepare the body for every asana (pose). Every session gives a format you can follow when creating sequences. For example \u201cI want to work on shoulder joint mobilization\u201d or \u201cI need to stretch my lower back\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a sequence for a particular goal takes the practice from general-style yoga to a more targeted approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Read more: <\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/japanese-yoga\/\"><i>Japanese Yoga: A Deep Dive Into Mindful Movements<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Benefits_of_Regularly_Practicing_Viniyoga\"><\/span><b>The Benefits of Regularly Practicing <\/b><b>Viniyoga\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This form of Hatha yoga can provide a range of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mental and emotional benefits<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Make your breathwork your number 1 priority to engage the mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for a certified teacher in your local area.

Let\u2019s say you do a forward bend, they see how far you can bend, how close the head is to your knees, and how straight your legs are. Many believe that the only measure of improvement is your flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, according to T. K. V. Desikachar and Krishnamacharya, progress doesn\u2019t mean perfecting the physical form. It means how well you can synchronize your breath while holding that pose. Breathwork should be leading your movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uttanasana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You lift your arms and inhale. You then bend forward and exhale.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the body back up to the starting position and inhale. Then, lower the arms and exhale.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With practice, you work on the connection between each movement and breath. You learn to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start the breath 1 to 2 seconds before you move.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extend the breath 1 to 2 seconds after the movement ends.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This creates a smooth link between your mind and body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gentle_Restorative_Poses\"><\/span><b>Gentle Restorative Poses<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga includes a wide range of poses, including balancing poses, forward bends, inversions, twists, backbends, standing poses, and seated poses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a restorative posture suitable for beginners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reclining_Bound_Angle_Pose\"><\/span><b>Reclining Bound Angle Pose<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Viniyoga, you should make slow and mindful transitions in and out of every pose. You make subtle adjustments and let the breath guide you without sudden movements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, after you settle into a pose, you can inhale and lift your chest to expand the ribcage, then exhale to deepen the posture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>How to do:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sit on the floor and place a folded blanket under your lower back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuck your chin in and roll back onto the blanket.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bend your knees and open your thighs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the soles of your feet touch.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your hands flat on the ground with the palms facing upward.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Close your eyes and take deep breaths.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To try other yoga poses, we suggest you check out these <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lying-on-back-yoga-pose\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Variations to Enhance Your Practice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Essential_Equipment\"><\/span><b>Essential Equipment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This practice doesn\u2019t require any special equipment.

Prana is a popular term that can be translated as \u201cprimary energy\u201d or \u201clife force\u201d. In yoga, prana is often associated with the breath.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout our lives, we can experience blockages in the flow of prana, whether on a conscious or unconscious level. Mudras are a valuable tool for restoring the movement of prana. When prana flows freely, we can unleash our full potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mudras are symbolic gestures you often practice with the fingers and hands. Bandhas can refer to the energy locks in different parts of your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process requires consistent effort and careful guidance. When we use mudras and bandhas together, we create a sophisticated system of visualization and breathwork. We can touch different layers of our subconscious, and harness the power within us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mantra_Chanting\"><\/span><b>Mantra Chanting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mantras or sacred vibrational chants are an integral component of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viniyoga<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Repeating a mantra can help release blockages and worries of the mind. This form of meditation can raise the vibrations and energy within the mind and body. It can lead to tranquility and a sense of peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to learn to repeat the mantra for a specific amount of time and coordinate it with the breath.
