Postures placed in sequence, one breath to one movement, building heat, strength and a moving meditation.

Ha, the sun, and tha, the moon: asana and breath to balance the two currents of energy and prepare body and mind for stillness.
-
Yogic Anatomy शरीर
The physical body and the subtle body: muscles and bones alongside nadis and chakras, for a safe and lasting practice.
