EP 4 - VINYASA KILLED YOGA
In this episode, we discuss the history and evolution of the
vinyasa practice and issues of accessibility, yoga injuries, and a
culture of athleticism. We touch on concepts of vinyasa, surya
namaskar, tapas, modern postural yoga and the evolution of asana.
We discuss certain popular yoga gimmicks and debunk the theory that
no yoga is authentic. We share our personal stories and preferred
methods for practicing and teaching. We pitch the importance of
yoga & community and we wrap the episode with guidelines and tips
for practicing vinyasa in an inclusive and accessible way.
