Open Sky Yoga Center

There is no bottom line for daily practice. What matters is presence, awareness and consistency. For example, one minute of silence with deep presence can be extra-ordinary and meaningful versus 2 hours of ongoing vrittis or boredom in a long “meditation.” Same with the asana practice. We will explore mini-modules, condensed vinyasa, accessible micro-practices of asana, pranayama, and naada (Yoga of Sound and Music). You will come out of this workshop with many sequences and short modules which you could combine like in a card game for a longer practice ... and if you are teaching, it will offer you a pool of endless possibilities to play with.
