Vinyasa (pron. vin-yaah-sa) is derived from the Sanskrit term nyasa, which means "to place," and the prefix vi, "in a special way"-as in the linking of one yoga pose to the next. In the yoga world the most common understanding of vinyasa is as a flowing sequence of specific yoga poses coordinated with the movements of the breath and gets you from pose to pose. The practice becomes a flow timed to the breath instead of just a series of discrete postures. The vinyasa gives rhythm to the practice, keeps the heat building, builds upper body strength and acts as a counterpose to stretch the legs and re-set the spine to neutral for the next sequence.
What can I expect in a Vinyasa Yoga class? Expect a energetic flow style practice with different poses each time and lots of emphasis on the breath. It is a very dynamic, rigorous, and transformative practice. With regular practice you'll quickly develop strength, endurance and mental focus over time.
