The term Vinyasa may be broken down into its Sanskritic roots to assist in decoding its meaning. “Nyasa” denotes “to place” and “vi” denotes “in a special way.” Like many Sanskrit words, Vinyasa is a term that has many meanings. Here at IndeaYoga, we interpret Vinyasa to mean a sequential movement that interlinks postures to form a continuous flow, all the while linking the body movement with breath and mind. Vinyasa is used to enter and exit Asanas. It is aimed to create a movement meditation that reveals all forms as being impermanent and for this reason are not held on to. It denotes a flowing, dynamic form of yoga, connected to breath or pranayama in which yoga and mudra transitions are embodied as linkages within and between asanas.
