“When you practice the sequence of asanas, or postures, you link them with conscious breathing. The real vinyasa, or link, however, is the intention with which you practice the asanas. It is the intention that links the postures with consciousness instead of unconsciousness.
The breath is merely a metaphor for that intention. If your intention is to practice asana to realize the true Self, every breath you take will help to break down your sense of separation from others.
”
