Vinyasa Yoga
Dynamic yoga in Breda, with poses flowing into one another to the rhythm of your breath. A complete workout that's different every time.
Fancy trying Vinyasa Yoga at Black & White?
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic style of yoga in which you move fluidly from pose to pose, linked to your breathing: one movement per inhale or exhale. This creates a rhythm that ties the whole class together into one continuous flow. Your heart rate goes up, you get warm and you're too busy with the flow to think about anything else.
The teacher puts together a new sequence for every class, so no two classes are the same. With variations for each pose, vinyasa suits a range of levels. Completely new to yoga? Then start with easy flow yoga. You'll find the class times in the class schedule.
Why Vinyasa Yoga?
Flowing sequences
The poses follow one another fluidly in a powerful flow. The teacher puts together a new sequence for every class.
Breath as the foundation
Your breath sets the pace: one movement per inhale or exhale. That keeps you focused and in the moment.
Energetic by nature
Your heart rate goes up and you work on strength and stamina. You head home feeling strong, energised and balanced.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic style of yoga in which you move fluidly from pose to pose, linked to your breathing. One movement per inhale or exhale: that creates a rhythm that carries through the whole class.
The word vinyasa refers to that link between breath and movement. Unlike in ashtanga yoga, the order of the poses isn't fixed. The teacher puts together a new sequence for every class.
Yes, with guidance you can get started safely. Every pose has a lighter variation, and you can always pause for a moment in a resting pose.
The pace is higher than in a gentle class, though. If you've never done yoga before, easy flow yoga is a lovely stepping stone for learning the basic poses first. After that, vinyasa will feel a lot more familiar.
The class is moderate to intense. Your heart rate goes up, you get warm and you build strength in your arms, legs and core. At the same time, it isn't about pushing yourself to exhaustion: the flow and the breathing keep the rhythm calm and steady.
You decide how hard it gets by choosing the variation that suits you. Want more heat and more sweat? Then give hot yoga a try.
Both styles are dynamic and link movement to breath. In ashtanga yoga the sequence is fixed: the same poses in the same order every class. In vinyasa, the teacher puts together something new for every class.
If you love variety and don't want to do the same thing every week, vinyasa is the better fit. If you like structure and measurable progress, go for ashtanga.
The structure is similar: in both classes you move fluidly through the poses in time with your breath. The difference is the heat.
We teach hot yoga in a heated room. That helps your muscles loosen up faster, and you sweat a lot more. Vinyasa takes place at room temperature, so you can focus more on strength and flow without the heat coming into play.
Vinyasa is yoga as a complete workout. You get stronger, your stamina improves and you become more flexible, all in one class. Thanks to the variety, you keep working different muscle groups.
On top of that, linking breath and movement works as a kind of moving meditation. Your mind goes quiet because your attention has to stay with the flow. Many people head home feeling energised and calm at the same time. Vinyasa also works well alongside strength training, because it keeps you supple and mobile.
For anyone who wants yoga as a real workout and loves variety. And for people who find it hard to sit still: vinyasa gives you plenty to do.
If you're looking for calm instead and would rather hold poses for longer, yin yoga is a better fit. For a stronger core and better posture, Pilates is a great addition.
Well-fitting sportswear that stays in place when you bend forward. You train barefoot. Yoga mats are ready for you in the studio. Bring a towel and a bottle of water, because you'll get warm. If you're going for hot yoga, bring a large towel and extra water.
A vinyasa yoga class lasts 60 minutes, including the relaxation at the end. You'll find the current class times in the class schedule, together with the other yoga classes and group classes.
Once or twice a week is a good rhythm. After a few weeks you'll notice that you're stronger and more flexible, and that the flow comes more easily.
Vinyasa combines well with strength training in the gym. On recovery days, choose a gentle class such as yin yoga.
That depends on the injury. Vinyasa is demanding on your wrists and shoulders, partly because of the poses in which you support yourself on your hands. Always let the teacher know about an injury; they can give you an alternative.
Not sure? Then drop in at our physiotherapy practice in the same building first. A gentle easy flow yoga class is often a good in-between step.
At Black & White, Takkebijsters 2 in Breda, in our own yoga studio. You'll also find the fitness area, the group classes and physiotherapy in the same building.
