What Is Vinyasa Yoga?
Hatha classes focus on one pose at a time, with rest in between.2 In contrast, flow classes string poses together to make a sequence. Due to vinyasa’s more active nature, you should ideally be wearing clothes that move with you in lightweight, sweat-wicking material. A sports bra for yoga will also provide the right amount of support to carry you through flow of your poses.
The sequence may be fixed, as in Ashtanga, in which the poses are always done in the same order. But most of the time, vinyasa teachers have the discretion to arrange the progression of poses in their own ways.
