The Ashanga Vinyasa
Method
Vinyasa
is a dynamic connecting posture which creates a flow between the more
static traditional yoga postures. The vinyasa 'flow' is a variant of
Surya namaskara, the Sun Salutation. The whole practice is defined by
six specific series of postures, always done in the same order,
combined with specific breathing patterns called ujjayi breathing.
A
standard Vinyasa consists of the flow from chaturanga (plank) to
chaturanga dandasana (low plank), to urdhva mukha svanasana
(Upward-facing dog), to Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog).
The
purpose of vinyasa is to create heat in the body, which leads to
purification of the body through increased circulation and sweating. It
also improves flexibility, as well as tendon and hard tissue strength,
allowing the student to practice advanced asanas with reduced risk of
injury.
