Just what is Viniyoga?

I've been wondering the same thing. I asked a person who teaches it

and even though it's was described as 'yoga for your type' I still

was left vague about it.

 

I'm with you. I would like to know too.

Viniyoga is the name used by Desikachar the son of Krishnamacharyan

who was also the teacher of Iyengar. Desikachar and some of his

students and their students use this to describe their type of hatha

yoga which often involves the use of vinyasas or several positions

linked together. They try to link the asanas with the breath and

work to adapt the performance of the asana to the student's level.

While some teacchers include some chanting, in general this

emphasizes the physical aspects of yoga. Deiskachar is quite adamant

about not wanting to have it linked with Hinduism in the West. I am

not sure if this is what your teacher was referring to, but this is

my experience with the term in the West. It is of course much older.

Namaste,

Viniyoga means "prescription".

The Cologne Sanskrit Lexicon says it can mean, "apportionment,

employment, use, application (esp. of a verse in ritual)"

Monier-Williams states it can mean "to expand (esp. for religious purposes)."

When you conclude the "prescribed use" section of your mantric

invocations, the Viniyoga is a dedication and closure to send off the

energy you do the mantras with.

We see this in almost all Pooja books of Devi Mandir. We hold

japa-mala, say " ... jape viniyogah ...", purify the Japa Mala

(rosary) and finally we chant 108 times name of the deity we are

praying. Ref: chandi path. You will find word to word translation of

Viniyoga.

I hope it helps ...
