Are you unsure of how to begin your yoga practice at home? Maybe you know some poses you would like to practice that day but are unable to create a continuous flow between poses? You feel ready to dive deeper into the philosophy that supports your physical yogic practices but don't know where to begin?

In this class, you will learn how to cultivate a personal practice. You will discover ways to practice asana, pranayama, meditation, and svadyaya (self-study) by yourself.

We will discuss sequencing of asanas, what pranayama practices are appropriate for your skill level, meditation techniques, and the yamas (how you should comport yourself with the outside world) and the niyamas (how you should comport yourself), that will help inspire and empower you. We will also discuss many of the excellent yoga books that are available.

Come to this workshop and get motivated about your practice. Become a true Sadhaka (spiritual practitioner; a person who is striving on the spiritual path for self-realization, true reality and cosmic consciousness).

1. Learn the art of Sequencing Asana
2. Understand the energetics of specific postures so that you can mold your practice around your needs
3. Discover or enhance your pranayama and meditation practices
4. Dig deeper into the profound philosophy of yoga through essential books
