What Kind of Yoga Do I Teach? (Hint: It’s Not What You Think)

“Vini-what?”

That’s usually the first response I get when someone asks what kind of yoga I teach.

And honestly? I don’t blame them.

Because what I teach doesn’t have flashy poses, a trendy soundtrack, or a celebrity endorsement. It’s not power yoga, vinyasa, yin, or flow. There’s no perfect label for it, and that’s kind of the point.

The truth is: I don’t teach a style. I teach a way of practising.

It’s called the Viniyoga approach. But even that term gets misunderstood.

Viniyoga isn’t a brand or a franchise. It’s an approach that asks one core question:
“Who is this practice for, and what do they need?”

Everything follows from that.

It’s rooted in tradition, particularly the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and his son T.K.V. Desikachar. But it’s also unapologetically personal, practical, and flexible. Not in the bendy sense, in the sense that it adapts to your life, your breath, your mind, your reality.

So what does that look like in practice?

• It means I don’t teach the same sequence to a class of 20 people and call it a day.

• It means the breath matters more than the shape.

• It means your experience matters more than your performance.

• It means you can have a bad day, a broken body, a busy mind, and still practice in a meaningful way.

This approach has structure. It’s not “do whatever you want.” But it’s also not rigid or one-size-fits-all.

And yes, it’s usually slower (but not always!). More reflective. Quieter.

But if you’re someone who’s looking for more than just a workout, more than just alignment cues and playlists, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Why don’t more people know about it?

Honestly? Because it doesn’t sell as easily.

It doesn’t promise abs in 30 days or an aesthetic Instagram feed.
It requires patience. Attention. A willingness to engage with yourself over time.

That’s not sexy. But it’s yoga.

Curious?
If you’re tired of fast flows, performative yoga, and cookie-cutter classes, you’re not alone.

The Viniyoga approach isn’t about rejecting modern life; it’s about meeting it with the tools yoga already gives us.

And that’s what I teach.
