"Vinyasa yoga is moving from one asana to another in a flowing movement. Asant can be literally translated as seaked. You would recognize it as posture or pose. So, vinyasa is translated as flow. So we area flowing from one pose to another. They're expanding and contracting poses. We can have a seed pose that we expand and transform pose after pose and more pose after pose from.
