I do Vinyasa. I started going last year, due to some very tight hip and leg muscles and the fact that I could barely touch my knees, let alone get close to my ankles.
My intention was to improve my mobility, but I learned through doing it that my balance also needed a lot of work and that the postures also help with muscle strength.
I'm not very skilled at it, but I enjoy the challenge of doing it and I can see that it has helped me. I've been sticking with the "beginner-friendly" classes for now, but my studio wants more of us to trickle into the more advanced classes and I might start going to those occasionally, too.
