Dynamic yoga

Yoga is traditionally divided into five "ways": Karma yoga, the way of action; Gyana yoga, the way of wisdom; Bhakti yoga, the way of devotion; Hatha yoga, the physical way; Raja yoga, the way of meditation. The dynamic yoga program is a form of Hatha yoga, therefore based on physical postures or asanas .

Dynamic yoga allows everyone to be able to tap into oriental arts with simplicity, taking into account, as Westerners, our physiological and cultural diversity, helping to keep the body toned, lean and agile while also improving its mental potential, posture and joint mobility.

It is a discipline not only suitable for encouraging meditation, but also physically very demanding. The peculiarity of dynamic yoga is the sequential execution of postures, which are "tied" to each other by means of transitional movements and the synchronization of the breath, in this way, creates a continuous flow of yoga positions that allow balanced training of all parts of the body and the achievement of a high degree of mental concentration.

An integral part of the practice of dynamic yoga is the synchronization of movements with the rhythm of the breath, to raise energy levels, concentrate the mind and avoid muscle tears. No movement should be done without breathing and without harmonizing the beginning and end of each phase of the exercise with the beginning and end of each breath. The rhythm of the breath must remain constant and uniform for all the phases of each posture: this means that it is necessary to concentrate on its flow and take conscious control of the inspirations and expirations. This practice is called pranayama .

The correct alignment of the body is fundamental in the practice of dynamic yoga. The weight of the person must be well distributed and evenly discharged. In each posture it is therefore necessary to check the position and alignment of each part of the body and eventually correct them, so as to be in perfect balance. Extending the column, in fact, increases the space between the vertebrae and acquires greater movement. To fully support the column, all the muscles must be involved, to which one must "teach" to work in harmony with each other.
