 The Vinyasa Series for Beginners:

Before you start with this series, it is vital for you to have undergone the study and practice of Hatha Yoga for better performance, fluidity, and understanding. The transition from one pose to another pose happens with each inhalation and exhalation. There are three core elements in a Vinyasa Flow that need to be mastered, controlled, and synchronized at every step of the series — Breath (or Prana), Posture (Asanas), and the Gaze or Drishti (the point of focus). The entire sequence is an abstract representation of a beautiful garland woven from the finest pearls, each pearl invaluably playing the role of a link between one another, just like a body with the breath, vision, and movement.

Start this series in Tadasana and conclude it in the same position with Namaste` Mudra.
