what does the word vinyasa mean
So hereâs the thing â vinyasa has several meanings. Translated from Sanskrit, vinyasa means âto place in a special way.â Each movement is a gradual progression from one to the next. The movement is aligned and linked with the breath so that you move with each inhale and exhale. Vinyasa-style yoga classes are ones where there is a dynamic flow from posture to posture.
