Vinyasa flow classes string poses together to make a sequence. In this practice, each movement is synchronized with a breath, which acts as an anchor as you move from one pose to the next.

 

The literal translation of vinyasa from Sanskrit is "connection”. In terms of yoga asana, we can interpret this as a connection between movement and breath or as the connection between poses in a flowing sequence.
