Yoga today
Yoga is one of the most popular health and wellness programmes in the world today, with lots of yoga schools offering in-person and online yoga classes in Singapore. Yoga is a powerful tool and lifestyle that can help alleviate pain and sickness, and sees the different aspects of our mind, body, and life as intertwined and interconnected. Yoga’s holistic techniques help one seek balance across the different aspects of their self and body to achieve healing, and Viniyoga’s classical techniques have helped practitioners cope with a variety of illnesses and conditions.
Viniyoga VS Modern Yoga: What’s the Difference?
There are many types of yoga available for interested practitioners today, each with their own unique approaches, beliefs, and techniques. Here are the main differences between Viniyoga and modern yoga styles to help you choose your ideal online yoga school in Singapore.
1. Viniyoga has a rich history
Viniyoga’s traditions can be traced back to the 8th century. Present-day Viniyoga teachings are based on understandings from Yogis of the past, but “translated” and contextualised to be suitable for modern day practitioners and care seekers. This rich tradition includes a holistic understanding of the individual, enabling Viniyoga practitioners to better connect with their inner life and spiritual self to achieve better healing and wellness. Viniyoga has a range of different online yoga courses and classes to suit various needs of care seekers and practitioners in Singapore and worldwide.
2. Wide range of yogic tools
Most modern yoga practices focus heavily on Asana (postures) however Viniyoga employs a wide variety of yogic tools and techniques to enhance the practitioner’s experience. This includes Pranayama (Breathing techniques), Mantras and Vedic Chanting, Bhavana (Visualization), Mudras (Seals), Bandhas (Locks that can release trapped energy), Dhyanam (Meditation), Nyasa (Placements), Ahara (Dietary suggestions), and Vihara (Lifestyle suggestions).
This underscores the holistic philosophies of Viniyoga. Wellness is achieved not just through your actions during class, but your overall approach to lifestyle and diet too. These values of Viniyoga enable a transformation of all aspects of the individual to meet your health and wellness goals. Viniyoga’s private yoga therapy also connects participants with trained yogi to discuss suitable techniques to suit their individual needs.
3. Flexible accommodation for class
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many yoga schools have shifted to online or virtual yoga classes making it more accessible than ever to try out a yoga practice for yourself. However, both first-timer and experienced practitioners may feel a sense of loss at not being able to attend in-person classes.
Viniyoga’s one-on-one teaching style ensures each lesson is an individualised experience that is both intimate and fulfilling. You can even book private yoga classes in Singapore to maximise your spiritual learning and growth - all from the safety and comfort of your own home.
