The viniyoga technique incorporates a wide range of yoga teachings and practices and adapts them to an individual’s needs. It emphasizes that each person should be taught what is appropriate to them. Its teachings include Āsana-s and Prāṇāyāma (postures and breathing techniques), and its practices include meditation, chanting, and mantras.
Vinyoga is believed to be one of the paths to personal and spiritual development. By utilizing its multidimensional approach to suit a person’s needs, one is able to transform their life, ultimately creating a better version of themselves.
