Vinyasa means "linking" or joining the breath with movement in a graceful "Vinyasa flowing form". Yoga postures can be sequenced in different ways with respect to poses followed by counter poses and the breath leads our bodies from one posture to the next. Opening your heart and surrending to the breath, will allow you to do your practice with pure consciouness and lightness.

"When you practice a sequence of asanas, you link them with conscious breathing.The real Vinyasa or link, however, is the intention with which you practice asanas. It is the intention that links the postures with consciousness instead of unconsciousness. The breath is a metaphor for that intention. If your intention is to practice asana to realize the Self, every breath you take will help break down your sense of separation from others."
