A seller of vintage clothing and jewelry on Esty.com, Hayley Ninnis is also pursuing her bachelor's degree in psychology. Hayley Ninnis enjoys blending psychology with yoga practice and will soon receive her teacher certification in power vinyasa yoga.
As a form of power yoga, power vinyasa yoga works to improve energy, strength and overall well-being. It focuses on bringing each body to its own ideal balance and as such helps the practitioner to heal and come into harmony with the self and surroundings. Power vinyasa yoga works to achieve this end via a combination of breath work and varied flowing poses. All vinyasa yoga synchronizes pose sequences with the breath. Teachers present varied sequences of movement to calm the practitioner's mind and simultaneously build endurance in the body. By lengthening the hold time of a pose or increasing the intensity of the combination, while maintaining focus on the breath, students strengthen their bodies and their connection to themselves. Doing so helps each student to improve his or her overall fitness on a personal level, rather than in comparison to the kind of predetermined aesthetic baselines that traditional Western workouts present.
