Viniyoga

Viniyoga was created by the late Sri. T. Krishnamacharya in the 1970's. Viniyoga emphasizes the breath; in fact, each movement is led by the breath.

Viniyoga has a more relaxed approach to placement of the body than Iyengar Yoga. For example, knees and elbow might be bent in a posture and emphasis placed on lengthening the spine. Viniyoga has a much less vigorous pace than Ashtanga or Power Yoga.

Viniyoga modifies the postures to meet the needs of the individual student. Therefore, it is often taught as private, therapeutic yoga.
