VINYASA - THE CONNECTING THREAD
One of the defining characteristics of Astanga yoga is that all of the postures are linked by a sequence of movements known in Sanskrit as vinyasa (meaning the order, movement or position of things).These movements provide the connecting thread between the postures, and make the practice of yoga fluid and seamless. which in turn facilitates a calm and meditative state of Vinyasa also provide important counterposes (without them the postures would male an odd and uncomfortable sequence) in the Primary Series. In particular the up-facing dog posture in the vinyasa is a strong backbend that forms a counterpose to the huge array of forward bends in the Primary Series.The vinyasa can be thought of as a way of wiping the slate clean - by stretching your body out and realigning your spine — between each posture.Another way of looking at the vinyasa is as the flesh on the bones of the postures.The Yoga Kurunta (see page 12) reputedly says: “Oh yogi, don’t do yoga without vinyasa”. Vinyasa is inextricably linked with breath.The regular rhythm of the breath dictates the speed and duration of the movements — the two uniting to form a harmonious whole. Meditation on the breath is one of the simplest and most rewarding meditation practices and it is inherent in Astanga yoga; you just need to listen for the sound of each breath, like listening to an internal clock.
