Description
"Yoga" and "Asana" seem to have become interchangeable in the west however Asana is not Yoga, it is preparation. But being able to practice ASANA safely and functionally is important because we have these bodies and we want to take good care of them. Breaking down the technical aspects of the asana (Vichara) encourages the development of a refined sense of stability and control over the body. The more asana we do (mindfully, safely, and effectively) the more sensitive we become to the messages that our body tells us. It is this increased sensitivity that projects us more towards "yoga". The Tantric Hatha yogis believe that as humans, our body is home for our spirit. It is the temple which allows us to perform the rituals of ha-tha yoga. So we must take excellent care of the body by keep it clean, stable, strong and flexible so that it is fit meditate.
This practice will be more focused on technique, we will still sit and breathe at the end of practice.
