"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."
