Developing a yoga practice according to the ideas expressed in the Yoga Sūtra is an action referred to as viṅyāsa krama. Krama is the step, nyāsa means “to place,” and the prefix vi- translates as “in a special way.” The concept of viṅyāsa krama tells us that it is not enough to simply take a step; that step needs to take us in the right direction and be made in the right way.
