Yoga for Weight Loss Pt 3

Vinyasa and tristhana must be used in order to perform asana correctly in Ashtanga Yoga. Vinyasa or breathing and movement system involves for each movement only one breath.

There are nine vinyasas and, as an example, the first one is inhaling while raising your arms over your head, and hands together, the second is exhaling while bending forward and placing your hands next to your feet, etc.

While synchronizing breathing and movement in the asanas heats the blood, it also cleans it, improving the circulation, relieving joint pain and removing toxins and disease from all internal organs. Impurities are carried out of the body trough the sweat generated by the heat of vinyasa, making your body healthier, lighter and stronger.

Tristhana, on the other hand, refers to the union of posture, breathing system and looking place, in order to cover the three most important levels of purification: the body, nervous system and mind.
