As I have stepped out into other yoga venues, I have noticed that the word "vinyasa" seems to scare some people. Vinyasa can be challenging if you are in an advanced class, but the word in itself simply means practice poses and movement in conjunction with breath. The option to skip a vinyasa (or sun salutation) is always available to your practice. The purpose in challenging your body is to learn more about your body. If you stay where you are comfortable, you will not find the full potential that your body can provide for you. Even if a practice is hard, within an hour of finishing your practice, your body will recover, your anxiousness in mind and body will subside and your stress levels can lower.
I challenge you to step into a vinyasa style of yoga and see where it takes you. Step out of the "yoga basics" classes after you have learned the basics. "Play" on your yoga mat. It is okay if you fall if your balance is rocky, or if you cannot do a pose because of flexibility limits, and it is okay to experiment with a pose and make it your own. Take ownership in your practice and challenge yourself to growth.
