teacher of well known contemporary Yoga masters B.K.S. Iyengar, K.

Viniyoga Institute, founded by Gary Kraftsow, uses the term Viniyoga to
refer to Yoga as a practice that is adapted to meet the physical, mental
and emotional needs, present lifestyle and goals of each individual. The
practice can include asana, pranayama, sound, meditation and other classic
elements. Viniyoga emphasizes breath and postures, often coordinated in
