What is 4BEAT?

Synchronicity

  • A dynamic vinyasa yoga where the breath is synced to the slow regular beat of the music.

  • With the fixed 4/4 timing, the sequencing becomes musical, training the breath, body and attention into rhythmic coherence.

  • Founded by Marcus Veda and born out of the Rocket Yoga system.

  • The tempo is set between 60-70 bpm musical pulse.

  • Teachers cue to the beat so the unified movement is aligned with the custom mixed soundtrack.

  • A collective of like-minded yogin who teach and practice 4BEAT their way.

A meditation movement.

4BEAT is a system with four main sequence arcs based on ashtanga inspired Rocket: Always starting with Sun Salutations, followed by a sequence of standing postures, then to the floor (#1 Base, #2 Axis, #3 Balance, #4 Reset) and into the closing/calming postures. Opportunities for inversions and arm balances keep you flying throughout, but the consistency of the breath should always take priority over the difficulty of the pose. The specific slow cadence of breath has several benefits including:

  • Parasympathetic activation (calming)

  • Focussed attention

  • Endurance without strain

  • Meditative entrainment

4BEAT is an archetypal mixed level practice: suitable for adventurous beginners and beyond- newbies or frequent flyers- we all sync together.
