At the foundation of Vinyasa Yoga is a swinging pendulum provided by the breath. When the mind takes fascination in the energy of inhaling and exhaling, the traditional Sun Salutations shine as a richly detailed yet simple form of art. Follow Grokker Yoga Expert Jason Bowman as he teaches you the importance of breath in this Grokker Premium video. Build upon these concepts and take your breath practice to the next level all through this Vinyasa series.

An embodied, alert and sincere yoga practice is one that feels just the perfect amount of passive. When we board the wave of the breath and let it lead the way, the postures unfold in a sustaining rhythm that takes the mind for a ride through our internal world. Follow Grokker Yoga Expert Jason Bowman through this class designed to balance effort and ease, and bring you closer to your authentic self through the gateway of the breath.

Active and sedentary humans alike need a release from common everyday postures that can close off the font body, like sitting in front of a computer or riding a bicycle. Follow Grokker Yoga Expert Jason Bowman through a fluid series of lunges to open the front of the body and build flexibility in the hips. Focusing on this area will lead to a sense of fluidity and stability in the spine that we can take with us into our day and the rest of our practice. For more of Jason Bowman’s fluid poses, check out the rest of the Vinyasa Yoga series.

Twists are a wonderful family of poses, but they can be demanding. Twisting requires both the stability and strength of your legs as well as the freedom and buoyancy of the ribs and chest. When the earth meets the sky inside the body, twisting postures are able to invigorate every muscle and ease the nervous system. With expert Jason Bowman’s guidance, you will learn how to pay close attention to the intersection of the spine and hips so that the poses are free to unfold. For more strength and stability, consult the other Grokker Premium videos in the Elements of Vinyasa series.

A dedicated yoga practice is evidenced by a body that no longer feels and moves like a list of separate parts, but one that is cohesive and tied to itself. When the arms and shoulders are connected to the ribs and core through a structure of stabilizing muscles, this cohesion is cultivated in a deep and fundamental way.
