The root of vinyasa in Sanskrit is vi, which means “in a special way” and nyasa, which means “to place”. Vinyasa is a term used to describe a style of yoga itself as well as a category of other forms of yoga. While there is some accuracy to both attributions, a more exact meaning of vinyasa is a method by which to help a student progress from one point to the next point through a combination of movement and breathe.
