'Vinyasa Krama Yoga', from which Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is derived,
employs the technique of "connecting postures." However, it is not
limited to the six series of postures specific to the Mysore
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system, as outlined by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. "Vinyasa
Yoga" connects movement and breath. Unlike Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga,
the "asanas" (yoga postures) can be arranged into different
sequences that can meet the practitioner's need or mood. In Ashtanga
Yoga, the sequences are called a series, and are not changed.
Vinyasa yoga is one of the most commonly practised styles in the
West. Sometimes referred to as "flow" yoga, the classes usually
focus on breathing and movement which is almost dance-like. Kenyan
youth have started practicing it widely.[1]
