What Does Vinyasa Mean?

Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word that means “to place in a special way,” and in yoga, it refers to a flowing style of movement that links breath with motion. In a Vinyasa practice, each posture transitions smoothly into the next, guided by the rhythm of your breath. This creates a moving meditation that builds strength, flexibility, focus, and inner calm. More than just a sequence of poses, Vinyasa is about creating intentional flow — both on the mat and in life — helping you stay present, grounded, and connected.
