Vinyasa refers to a way of doing yoga that emphasizes the union of breath and
movement.
Usually involves a gradual progression from one asana (pose) to the next so
that the poses are smoothly connected.
Used for raising body heat, change energy levels, release toxin and impurities,
and to increase body awareness.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya founded and developed vinyasa yoga in the 19th
and 20th century
You should slow the breath enough to where you have 6 breaths per minute
Deep forward bending and twisting movements are always done while
breathing out.
Expansive movements or backbends are typically done while breathing in.
Vinyasa is better for beginners because the teachers are trained to tailor the
poses for the individual students
Vinyasa is good for any skill group depending ogn the difficulty and speed of
the class
It is a very progressive practice and one should not rush through it.
If you rush it could result in injury
Yoga Karma is a step by step approach where the instructer builds the session
to a peak.
After series of asanas, they end practice with many inverted or lying poses and
ease the students back into the real world

This source provided me with more specific information about my practice and
will make participating in my class more interesting and pertinent so I can better
portray this information in my presentation.
