Viniyoga... by an AI image generator

Yoga with wine?

Viniyoga is the tradition of yoga that I practice and teach. I love it, It is slow and steady, breath centred, personalised to each person who practices, and infinitely adaptable to help you find 'your' yoga, that will most benefit you. 

OR

An AI (artificial intelligence) image generator interpreted it as....
Yoga with wine!!!

It came back with a few images to choose from. Glasses of wine held in a pose, wine bottles on the head. The common theme of course was... wine. 

Ok, AI has a way to go in the world of yoga.

Breath-led yoga ... by an AI chatbot

AI chatbot breath-led yoga
Curiously I was playing around with an AI chatbot (Bard) the other day, They can generate articles and text and do a little research. I asked it what breath-led yoga was... here is what is came back with (italics are my comments).

Breath-led yoga is a type of yoga that focuses on the breath 
The breath is used to guide the movements and to create a sense of awareness and connection within the body. Breath-led yoga can be a great way to reduce stress, improve focus, and connect with your body.

(Kind of... but there is a subtle but big difference ... the breath leads the movements, rather than the mind willing the body into the movements, allowing for a more integrated experience of body and breath.)

**Benefits of breath-led yoga**
There are many benefits to breath-led yoga. Some of the most common benefits include:
* Reduced stress and anxiety
* Improved focus and concentration
* Increased energy levels
* Improved sleep quality
* Reduced pain
* Increased flexibility
* Increased self-awareness

**How to practice breath-led yoga**
Breath-led yoga can be practiced almost anywhere. You can do it at home, in a yoga studio, or even in nature. To practice breath-led yoga, simply find a comfortable position and begin to focus on your breath. As you inhale, focus on expanding your belly. As you exhale, focus on contracting your belly. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly for 5-10 minutes.
(I have to say it started to get a little muddled here. But it is definitely worth mentioning that breath-led yoga is the full participation of the breath, body and mind coming together in a movement or stillness practice that invites a wonder, depth and awe at the wonderful mystery that is the human experience... just to mention!)

**Conclusion**
Breath-led yoga is a great way to reduce stress, improve focus, and connect with your body. If you are looking for a new way to improve your health and well-being, I encourage you to give breath-led yoga a try. 
Again, a little understated at how transformative a yoga practice can be, but not a bad starting point. 

**Here are some additional tips for beginners:**
* Find a comfortable place to practice. You can do breath-led yoga on the floor, on a mat, or even in a chair.
* Wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in.
* Start with simple poses and gradually work your way up to more challenging poses.
* Focus on your breath and don't worry about getting the poses perfect.
* Listen to your body and take breaks when you need them.
* Be patient and consistent with your practice. It takes time to see results.
* Have fun! Breath-led yoga is a great way to connect with your body and improve your overall well-being.

Thanks Bard!
