As the sun rises we begin our Morning Yoga session in the Yoga Shala. The Hatha based practice is alignment focused, asking students to observe the strengths & compensations of their body. Witnessing the tyranny of the mind and persisting in the face of challenges that come with being present within our physical, mental and emotional selves. In the late afternoon as the sun starts to cool, we will enjoy an afternoon practice. Following Iyengar’s key teachings, there are yoga blocks, straps & blankets for everyone, to assist finding the best alignment possible for their bodies, at that moment.
