1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,410
hey everyone welcome to yoga with

2
00:00:01,410 --> 00:00:03,120
Adriene I'm Adriene today we're tackling

3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,960
the question what is a vinyasa this

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,519
comes up a lot and it's a totally

5
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,820
awesome question because it's confusing

6
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:13,679
we go to public classes and the teachers

7
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:16,440
like and vinyasa vinyasa

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,650
mufasa so first things first we'll break

9
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:21,720
this down very quickly for you first

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800
things first is like most sanskrit terms

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,080
the word vinyasa has many meanings the

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,119
first thing we'll do is break down the

13
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:34,820
word the Sanskrit word vinyasa means to

14
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:38,879
to place the the first part means to

15
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:40,379
place Yassa

16
00:00:40,379 --> 00:00:43,469
in a special way so forget about that

17
00:00:43,469 --> 00:00:45,239
chaturanga to updog for a second just

18
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:47,870
think about that that the Sanskrit term

19
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:51,469
itself means to place in a special way

20
00:00:51,469 --> 00:00:54,390
now I'm not trying to get on my Sanskrit

21
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:56,399
high horse of our yogic high horse here

22
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,050
but I feel like that's really cool and

23
00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:00,030
really important especially as a

24
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:02,309
beginner but even for anyone who might

25
00:01:02,309 --> 00:01:03,870
be listening to this wanting to kind of

26
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:06,659
deepen your practice and embrace the

27
00:01:06,659 --> 00:01:09,479
yogic philosophy in your asana practice

28
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:11,130
and hopefully in your everyday life so

29
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:13,500
to place in a special way for me that

30
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,040
brings up the idea of you know intention

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,580
to move with intention so honestly there

32
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:24,119
are many definitions to the word vinyasa

33
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:26,490
and for this vinyasa but to place in a

34
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:28,259
special way I feel like my favorite

35
00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:31,229
definition is definitely like how do you

36
00:01:31,229 --> 00:01:33,090
move with intention to move with

37
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:36,380
intention so that brings me to another

38
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:39,090
way of interpreting this word vinyasa

39
00:01:39,090 --> 00:01:41,280
and that is that is a systematic

40
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,850
approach to moving from one point to the

41
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:48,810
next with the breath so very important

42
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:50,460
with the breath moving from point A to

43
00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:53,430
point B with the breath so we have this

44
00:01:53,430 --> 00:01:55,680
idea of moving with intention and now we

45
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,259
have this understanding or this idea of

46
00:01:58,259 --> 00:02:01,500
moving from one pose to the next or just

47
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,079
moving from point A to point B with the

48
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,689
breath so it's breath and intention now

49
00:02:06,689 --> 00:02:08,818
to like the park you know to the

50
00:02:08,818 --> 00:02:10,258
confusing question but what you know I

51
00:02:10,258 --> 00:02:12,110
look at a yoga schedule and I see

52
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:13,720
there's a vinyasa

53
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,840
class so linking body movement with the

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,640
breath has become you know this very

55
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,230
popular way to get the heart rate going

56
00:02:20,230 --> 00:02:24,750
to flow in and out of the postures so

57
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:27,340
using my hands a lot so we also will

58
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:29,710
refer to this word as you know flow a

59
00:02:29,710 --> 00:02:31,630
flow class the vinyasa class so you know

60
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:32,800
what to expect when you show up to that

61
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,340
class

62
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:35,590
to link breath and body movement

63
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:38,920
probably moves it a semi Swift pace if

64
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:44,200
you're in the West and then the final

65
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,820
kind of practical thing that you might

66
00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:48,040
be wondering well what about when I'm in

67
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,570
that vinyasa class and the teacher says

68
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:51,940
and now take your vinyasa or rest you

69
00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:54,970
know and that is looking at the word in

70
00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:58,150
a whole nother way but still with the

71
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:00,340
same principles of moving with intention

72
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:02,230
linking body movement with breath and

73
00:03:02,230 --> 00:03:04,300
that is that little sequence between our

74
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:06,580
downward-facing dogs so that moment

75
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:09,280
between Auto MOCA and Auto mukha usually

76
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,070
and so typically that'll be lowering

77
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:13,959
down to the belly opening your heart and

78
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:15,670
Kol removing with the breath and then

79
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:19,480
exhaling back to down dog or again

80
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,640
really common in the West and in these

81
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:26,620
kind of more fast-paced classes we will

82
00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:28,090
and we and we do them here on the

83
00:03:28,090 --> 00:03:29,260
channel as well we will take that

84
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:34,030
opportunity that vinyasa as a chaturanga

85
00:03:34,030 --> 00:03:37,750
to upward facing dog and then a return

86
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:40,209
to your downward facing dog so I hope

87
00:03:40,209 --> 00:03:41,920
I'm not confusing you there are lots of

88
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
meanings to the word vinyasa there are

89
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,459
also these practical applications the

90
00:03:48,459 --> 00:03:49,450
name of the class

91
00:03:49,450 --> 00:03:51,790
you know the noun the the moment between

92
00:03:51,790 --> 00:03:54,489
the downward facing dog but if we really

93
00:03:54,489 --> 00:03:56,970
go back to the root of the Sanskrit word

94
00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:01,720
where we're talking about moving with

95
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,720
intention and using the breath as a tool

96
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,480
to do just that so hopefully it's helped

97
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,239
you figure out the word vinyasa it

98
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:11,680
doesn't always have to be that fancy

99
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,170
chaturanga to updog to perform a vinyasa

100
00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:16,298
if you're in a class and that moment

101
00:04:16,298 --> 00:04:18,220
comes along and you're not prepared to

102
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:19,690
do that or you're working on shoulder

103
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:21,130
stuff or you're just growing that

104
00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,410
chaturanga as long as you're moving with

105
00:04:23,410 --> 00:04:25,530
your breath you're doing it right

106
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:27,570
doing it awesome so anyway that's all

107
00:04:27,570 --> 00:04:30,150
for today keep the questions coming we

108
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:33,360
love to respond to the requests because

109
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,650
it means that we're having a real

110
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:37,400
conversation we're not just yoga robots

111
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,690
wore this shirt especially for you is my

112
00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:41,370
first time to wear it in a long time I

113
00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:44,340
made this when I was in fifth grade for

114
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:45,830
a track-and-field day

115
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:48,690
that might be an overshare but I think

116
00:04:48,690 --> 00:04:50,639
it's pretty cool okay anyway take care

117
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:53,070
everyone we'll see you next time free

118
00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:54,810
yoga videos every Wednesday

119
00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:57,930
join the conversation namaste that was

120
00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:00,260
really cheesy
