Vinyasa means the unity of breath and movement. In this yoga practice the asanas (individual postures) are linked together into a flowing movement – similar to a dance. Vinyasa yoga developed from Ashtanga Yoga – the Yoga of Eight Limbs. It is a powerful practice that develops heat in the body and strenghtens stamina. When one makes the ’Plank’, ’Crocodile’, ’Upward Dog’ and ’Downward Dog’ one after the other people describe it as ’the Vinyasa flow’.
Vinyasa lessons can have different emphasis: for example sometimes the in and out breath can be the focus or other times the flexibility and strengthening of the body.

The Sunrise Salutation (also Sun Prayer) is found in many Yoga styles as an indispensable component of practice and during the course of the time numerous variations have developed. This exercise series connected with certain breathing sequences and forward and back bends, produces a sensation in our body of the heat, energy and vitality of the sun.
The sun is the originally female symbol in nature, which creates, sustains and also destroys life.
After a cleanseing breath exercise and a short Pavanmuktasana sequence we practice as the heart of this lesson the Sun Salutation, in order to start the day with strength and confidence.
