The focus of each session is on building students awareness of how the muscular system with breath and bandhas help to align the skeletal structure and create integrity in each pose.  This ensures safety as well as building a strong foundation for the physical side of yoga whilst cultivating body awareness in-keeping with the principles of sthiratã and sukhatã.  Pranayama (breathing techniques). Respiration influences every cell in the body stimulating endocrine functioning, brain performance, it fuels the process of turning oxygen and glucose into energy and creating total well-being, Mindfulness, Meditation and Mudras also cultivate health and well-being, alleviate stress and encourage a calm and focused mind.
