Agni Vinyasa yoga uses good form and body alignment during the practice of asana. Asana means a repertoire of postures using the spine as a channel for the biodynamic union. The term also denotes sitting down firmly but in a relaxed manner and for an extended time period. Music, bandhas (locks) and proper breathing are important factors in this type of yoga. Certain asanas are performed in quick series and very rapid pace. Though proper asanas execution is required for Agni Vinyasa yoga, the alignment must extend beyond the usual to strengthen the joints and energy centers within the body.
Different techniques with a variation of slow to fast-paced breathing are employed to. Rigorous movements are utilized to awaken the body more. Some poses are retained longer and repetitively to strengthen specific parts of the body. For more advanced Agni Vinyasa yoga classes, music is not recommended because this can disrupt mental concentration. The mantras being used start at a slow pace. The rhythm becomes faster as the music goes on. The music then slows down and becomes softer when gearing towards the final part of each lesson. A guided relaxation culminates the session.
Agni Vinyasa yoga is a meditative system firmly grounded on composure and aims at deeply realizing the movement of your center, opening your heart and mental channel for a healthier and more fulfilling life.
