Yoga positions are sequenced together to create a Vinyasa. Movements
are done by following the flow of the breath. Following the
breathing is always quite challenging as the mind has a tendency to
jump ahead. Patience and tranquility allow insight and unity with
breath, this allows us to flow through vinyasa yoga sequences and be
light with the body.
Often the breath is held when entering a yoga position. The mind is
easily distracted and it is hard to stay fixed on the breathing.
Balance and control is needed. Seek a smooth breath, feel good
alignment, empty and still the mind then fill it with light.
Instructions for the sequence above. Start with standing, inhale
into Chair Pose, exhale to a forward bend. Inhale step the right leg
back. Exhale, turn the back leg so that the heel touches the mat and
enter extended side angle. Inhale hold then exhale into Triangle.
Exhale into the hamstring stretch then flow and inhale bending the
knee. Exhale into Downward Dog, hold then inhale forward to
Chaturangasana. Inhale to a mild Cobra (You can do a deeper Cobra or
Upward Facing Dog) then exhale back to Downward Dog. Inhale forward
to the raised Uttanasana and exhale into the deeper version with the
head to the legs. Inhale to Tadasana.
If you are a yoga teacher you can hold the standing yoga positions
such as triangle and extended side angle for a little while the
first time around to touch upon alignment issues. Then you can flow
through them with the breath in a Vinyasa flow each time you repeat
the above Vinyasa yoga sequence.
