Characteristics of stream yoga and its suitability for the crowd
Stream yoga is also called "process yoga". Inherited from the West, it is a mixture of hatha yoga and astanga yoga. Its doctrine and difficulty fall somewhere in between.
The initial movements of each level of flow yoga also start with Sun Prayer Stases A and B, practice several times, then practice a single movement, and finally end with handstand and rest. The most classic and tiring Vinyasa movements in Ashtanga yoga have been simplified or even eliminated, saving the practitioner's physical strength. It is more physically demanding than traditional hatha yoga.
Stream yoga is more popular in European and American countries. There are also many yoga studios in China that teach yoga. Considering the relatively average physical fitness of Chinese people, this form of yoga is easy to accept.
Suitable for: Healthy young people, people who want to lose weight and detoxify, and practice hatha yoga for more than half a year. Practice is not recommended for the frail and sick.
Features:
Stream yoga emphasizes the harmony between exercise and breathing, and also introduces some dynamic postures to make the entire practice process full of vitality and fun! Flow yoga combines different elements from many yoga schools and forms a unique body with graceful and flexible posture. Flow Yoga also focuses on practice. But pay more attention to the standardization, standard and beauty of the action, each action should stay longer, carefully experience the feeling of the body.
Flow Yoga is similar to Hatha Yoga and suitable for ordinary people to practice. The difficulty above intermediate level is gradually increasing in preparation for practicing Ashtanga Yoga in the future, so it is not recommended for beginners to practice this yoga.
Note: The choreography of flow yoga is continuous and smooth. People with poor physical strength can take a short rest halfway to conserve their strength. The reason why it is also called "process yoga" is because the movements are fixed, like fixed processes, so it is very helpful for exercising patience.
Differences between Stream Yoga and Other Yoga
Other yoga takes a break while doing the movements, but flow yoga takes a break when doing the movements all the time before it takes a break at the end, and its rest is also doing the movements. Overall, it is much harder and more intense than other yoga. People who are not very physically fit at the beginning of practicing yoga will generally not recommend you to go to up-stream yoga, but people with a little basics will feel very comfortable after going to it.
