| As we travel
through life, it's no mystery that we are constantly evolving
on all levels -physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
So why not tailor a yoga routine that will help address
and integrate these transitions? Viniyoga, in fact, is
an empowering and transformative practice designed to
do just that.
In this gentle practice, created by T.K.V. Desikachar,
poses are synchronized with the breath in sequences
determined by the needs of the practitioner. According
to Gary Kraftsow, owner and teacher at The American
Viniyoga Institute on the Hawaiian island Maui, Viniyoga
is a methodology for developing an integrated practice
for each person's needs as they grow and change.
"As children, our practice should support balanced
growth and development of the body and mind. As adults,
it should protect our health and promote our ability
to be productive in the world. And as seniors, it should
help us maintain health and inspire a deeper quest for
self-realization," says Kraftsow.
