The style of yoga that I have been trained in is Viniyoga. 

Viniyoga is a therapeutic, comprehensive and authentic transmission of the teachings of yoga including asana, pranayama, bandha, sound, chanting, meditation, personal ritual and study of texts. Viniyoga is an ancient Sanskrit term that implies differentiation, adaptation, and appropriate application.

These are four key characteristics that set Viniyoga apart from other styles of yoga:

1. Repetition & Stay: The use of repetition into and out of postures in addition to holding postures.

2. Function Over Form: The emphasis on function rather than form in asana practice, and the science of adapting the forms of the postures to achieve different results.

3. Breath & Adaptation: The emphasis on breath as the medium for movement in asana, and the science of adapting the pattern of breathing in asana to produce different effects.

4. Art & Science of Sequencing: The refined art and science of combination which allows teachers to create sequences of different orientation, length, and intensity to suit the intention and context of each practice.

Viniyoga's Origins:

Viniyoga is the legacy of the great guru Krishnamacharya, whose prominent students include Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar, arguably the most prominent figures in yoga's dissemination to the west beginning in the 1970s. Krishnamacharya's son T.K.V. Desikachar carries on the guru's legacy as the world's foremost Viniyoga authority. Gary Kraftsow, founder of the American Viniyoga Institute, is the most prominent American proponent of Desikachar's method. My Teacher, Tracy Weber was a student of Gary Kraftsow.
