DOI: 10.1558/equinox.46371

Blurb:

The contemporary idea of vinyasa can be traced back to Krishnamacharya (1888 – 1989) and his method of vinyasa krama (special sequence of steps) or viniyoga (appropriate application). Krishnamacharya reinterpreted the older meaning of vinyasa to refer to his concept of linking movement with breath through a flowing progression of poses.
