Description

Further information: Yoga as exercise

The vinyasa forms of yoga used as exercise, including

Krishnamacharya's development of a flowing aerobic style of yoga in the Mysore Palace in the early 20th century.[2][3]

Krishnamacharya's usage

According to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga's official history,

shishya relationship. Further, Krishnamacharya "surprising[ly]"[4] did not cite the text in his 1935 Yoga Makaranda or his c. 1941 Yogasanagalu.[4] The Yogasanagalu did contain tables of asanas and vinyasas, and these are "comparable"[5] to Jois's system, but far from being fixed as written in an ancient manuscript, Krishnamacharya's "jumping" yoga style at the Mysore palace was constantly changing, adapted to the needs of specific pupils according to their ages, constitutions (deha), vocations (vrttibheda), capabilities (sakti), and paths (marga);[5] the approach was "experimental".[6] In contrast, the system that Krishnamacharya taught to Jois and that became the basis of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga was fixed. This may have been because Jois had to teach at the Sanskrit Pathasala in 1933, while Krishnamacharya's other pupils were studying at his Yogasala, so he may, Mark Singleton suggests, have taught the 18-year-old Jois a simple fixed sequence suitable for a novice teacher to use with large groups of boys.[7] Norman Sjoman notes that Krishnamacharya cited the 19th century Sritattvanidhi which documents asanas used in the Mysore palace in his early writings; his early vinyasas developed into forms more like those of Jois, something that Sjoman takes as evidence that Krishnamacharya created rather than inherited the vinyasas: "It was not an inherited format".[8][9]

Krishnamacharya used "vinyasa" in at least two different ways. One was in

a broad sense to mean "an appropriately formulated sequence of steps (krama) for approaching a given posture".[10] The other was a "stage in the execution of an asana". For example, in Yoga Makaranda the Sarvangasana sequence is introduced with the words "This has 12 vinyasas [stages]. The 8th vinyasa is the asana sthiti [the actual pose]."[11]

Pattabhi Jois's usage

In contrast,

Surya Namaskar model".[13]

Sharath Jois's usage

Modern vinyasa yoga such as is taught by

Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog Pose) to link other asanas.[14] Sharath Jois defines vinyasa as a system of breathing and movement.[15]
