Work Out Wednesday - Yoga | Cupcake DuJour

The Who, What, Where, When & Why of my fitness regime

Vinyasa Yoga

Too much of a good thing is still too much. My week of travel, fun & friends in California left me feelin little used up. It was absolutely some of the best fun I’ve had all year, but all that excitement made for a very tired Tita.

Upon my return to Vancouver, I took a few days off, to catch up on sleep, and clean up my diet. After that, it was time to ease back into activity with some good, old fashioned Yoga.

My good friend, and fellow SuicideGirl Rin has been practicing Yoga for 13 years.

She credits it with making her body feel strong and capable, as well as improving her posture, circulation, and helping to regulate her emotions.

It had been sometime since we did a work-out together, so this was the perfect opportunity to get back at it!

Rin subscribes to My Yoga Online, which is where we found our program. However, after poking around on the internet, I was pleased to find that they post examples of their practices on their YouTube channel as well.

“The term vinyasa refers to the alignment of movement and breath, a method which turns static postures into a dynamic flow.”

In this case, the term vinyasa also refers to a specific series of movements that are performed in a series.
