Vinyasa Yoga
A modern yoga style
A vinyasa is a smooth transition
between asanas in styles of modern yoga as exercise such as Vinyasa
Krama Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Bikram Yoga, especially when
movement is paired with the breath. Vinyasa yoga is a great form of
exercise, both for the mind and the body.
A particular sequence of asanas, also called a vinyasa, is used
repeatedly in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga classes; it involves
Chaturanga Dandasana (Low Staff Pose),
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Dog Pose) and
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog Pose) to link other asanas.
Sharath Jois defines vinyasa as a system of breathing and movement.
