​Vinyasa yoga

The core idea of Vinyasa Yoga is to shift the emphasis from posture to breath—and to recognize that postures, like all forms, are impermanent.

Forms (asanas, bodies, life-forms, structures, nations, planets, and so on) come and go. The quest of yoga is for the formless—consciousness—the presence that exists before form arises and remains after form subsides.

For this reason, the practice is organized so that nothing impermanent is clung to. Vinyasa Yoga becomes a meditation on impermanence: the only constant is the steady focus on the breath.

​Through Vinyasa, postures are linked together to form a mala. Traditionally, a mala is used to count mantras during meditation. In Vinyasa Yoga, each asana becomes a bead on this mala of postures, turning the sequence into a meditation in motion.
