* Essentials of Asana I Getting into – Being there and – Getting out of Asanas. Practice is deepened with clear intention and reasons for practice. The Intention of the practitioner will determine the methods used in asana practice. Why we do an asana will determine how we do it; how to start and how to finish. Using the better-known asanas we will explore different methods and benefits of practice.

* Essentials of Asana II Asana insight is developed when the intricate action is determined to create a transparent sense of direction for the stretch of each muscle and joint. This session will study the direction of action for intricate body-mind development in asana.

* Under the Surface of Asana I Delving into asana practice brings a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the many intricacies and actions required. In this session we will study the “Double Action” method in Standing Poses to help grasp the path to the deeper layers of practice. Standing Poses create strength and power with a firm sense of ‘being grounded in life’.

* Under the Surface of Asana II Following the lead of the morning session: we will practice, observe, and reflect on the “double-action” used in the practice of Forward Bends. Forward Bends bring a deep sense of inner calmness and tranquility, crucial qualities in modern life.

* Confidence in the Depth of Asana I Deeper discernment in practice is the result of more demanding practices. Backbends are used to evolve an increased to depth in asana to expand and clarify confidence. It is the investigation of the mind into the process of yoga, into what BKS Iyengar calls “Meditation in Action”.

* Confidence in the Depth of Asana II Creating clarity in asana practice brings a firm balance in life. Clear intention of action will establish a focused, yet lighter, practice where energy is used less and generated more. The focus of this session will be towards developing firm focused balancing asanas.
