Bend your knees deeply enough so you can hook your hands together. Shift your weight onto your right leg and gently bring your body up to stand. (your arms will be wrapped around your left leg.

• As there are no set rules to follow when creating a Vinyasa class, the teacher is allowed to have fun and be creative. The flow may be slower in some classes and faster in others, the class may include chanting, philosophy and/or meditation. The continuous movement synchronized with the breath is the key that links them together.

A typical Vinyasa class will start with sun salutations, and then continue through series of standing poses linked with "vinyasa's". When used as a noun, a "vinyasa" refers to a short sequence of poses used to transition into the next pose. The poses that make up a vinyasa are: Plank pose - Four limbed staff pose (chaturanga dandasana) - Upward facing dog (urdhva mukha svanasana) - Downward facing dog (adho mukha svanasana). Thereafter the class often includes inversions and floor based back bends and forward bends. By the end of the class the pace will have slowed down, gently leading up to final relaxation (savasana).
