Yoga Vinyasa Krama Foundations - First Sequence & Pranayama

Mondays 9-10:30am Starts March 16th

$25/Drop-in, Discounted Class Passes & Sliding Scale Available

Fundamental practices that set a good foundation for understanding the holistic nature, energetics and Sanskrit yoga philosophy guiding the approach of this comprehensive system. Long time yoga practitioners as well as new students will benefit. Experience the distinction of this system verses other modern yoga/vinyasa practices commonly taught and how to use the ujjayi as it relates to yoga sutra and moving with the breath and the importance of the pause.  Talasana is a very unique & profound krama initiating & establishing "samasthiti", the steadiness and focus of mind, balanced energy and steadiness of body - with the two feet together, moving from the center.  The concepts of "stillness in movement", "power of the pause" and "ananta samapatti" become tangible with regular practice.  I practice it almost daily.  

Class begins with Opening Mantras & Ding Namaskar (Devotional Salutation to the Directional Spheres with Breath & Mantra).  Then moves to Tāĺāsana Krama (Foundational Sequence), Seated Prānāyāma (Yogic Breathing) including Morning Cleansing Kriyas, Ujjayi, Nadi Shuddi, Samantraka Prānāyāma, Pratyahara, Subtle & Contemplative Practices.   May include Specific Mudra (Energetic Bodily Gestures).
