Of the hatha yoga tradition, Vinyasa is the linking of one asana (pose) to the next in a flow of movements. The breath initiates each movement, creating a dynamic interrelationship of our internal and external worlds. Vinyasa is an expression of our prana-shakti or life-force energy allowing us to harmonize with subtler rhythms, allowing one to experience the vibration of life. The symbiotic merging of breath and movement creates seamless unity. When these two elements exist as one, the mind is calmed—creating a meditation of movement. Yoga meaning union is unlocked when the breath, body, and mind are weaved together; this is the essence of vinyasa.
Basic fundamentals include, Ujjayi breath, Bandhas, Asana and Drishti.
