In this episode, we sit down with Rayne Watkin to explore yin’s ancient roots, its evolving nature, and why it’s so much more than just long-held stretches. We unpack its principles, how it differs from restorative yoga, the role of myofascial release, qi activation, and why slowing down might just be the most challenging (and transformative) yoga you’ll ever practice.

Is yoga only about flexibility and for flexible people?

In this episode of the Warrior One Yoga Podcast, we welcome Sarah for the very first time to dive into one of the most common misconceptions in yoga — that it’s only for flexible people. This inspiring conversation explores how modern yoga, especially styles like Vinyasa and Slow Flow, offer far more than just flexibility. From strength and balance to mobility and mental clarity, Sarah breaks down what really happens in a typical class and why yoga is for every body — tight hips, stiff shoulders, and all.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned mover, this episode will shift the way you think about yoga.

Do you meet challenges with tension or curiosity? Can you soften when things get hard? Do you allow yourself to pause instead of pushing through?

Sarah beautifully unpacks how yoga helps us tune out the static of life and tune into something deeper. Something true.

From letting go of perfection to finding creative downloads mid-savasana, this is a love letter to presence, grounding, and growth.

And no, you don’t need to nail a handstand to benefit from this. Just breathe, notice, and be.

What you practice here is what you practice everywhere.

Welcome to the world of Vinyasa yoga, where movement and breath blend together into a beautifully choreographed flow. In today’s episode, we are joined by Sophie Davidson, one of our esteemed yoga teachers at Warrior One Yoga. Together we delve into the key components of a Vinyasa class and discover how to deliver an incredible experience for your students.

Breath: The Heartbeat of Vinyasa. In Vinyasa yoga, the breath is paramount, distinguishing it from other movement practices. Prioritize connecting students to their breath to create a seamless and transformative experience in the faster-paced Vinyasa class.

The Power of Cuing. Effective cuing is essential in guiding students through Vinyasa poses and transitions. Follow the Three A's: Announce breath and pose, Align bodies, and Add details gradually. This structured approach promotes clarity and a more intentional teaching experience.

Elevate Your Sequencing. It’s important to start with accessible options and gradually progress, as this lets students of all abilities feel supported and successful. Elevator queuing can transform the student experience, as seen in poses like the humble tree.

Thematic Depth. Themes are a beautiful way to infuse your Vinyasa class with depth and purpose. Whether it's a philosophical concept, an energetic focus, or a quote that resonates with you, theming adds an extra layer of meaning to the practice. Consider choosing themes that inspire, and uplift, your students.

Pace: Finding the Rhythm. In a Vinyasa class, students anticipate a dynamic and energizing experience. While it doesn't have to be lightning-fast, it should have a more upbeat tempo compared to slower flow classes. The key is to find a balance that allows for fluid movement and challenges while still honoring the breath and providing space for mindfulness.

The beauty of Vinyasa yoga lies in its adaptability and creativity, so feel free to infuse your own unique style and passions into your teaching. Step onto your mat with confidence, knowing that you have the tools to deliver an epic Vinyasa class that will uplift and transform the lives of your students.
