Sequencing Info
1. Read the entire sequence first before practicing. Click on the posture picture or name to read the detailed instructions about the posture’s alignment, contraindications and modifications. 2. It is recommended to use one of our Warm-Up Sequences before starting a standard pose sequence. 3. If you are unfamiliar with any postures, practice these first until you are comfortable with their alignment. 4. Use the vinyasa info on the individual posture pages to modify or expand sequences. 5. Remember to breathe deeply through the nose and focus the mind on the body and breath. Take each pose to your edge and relax deeper into the pose rather than pushing into it. 6. Have fun. Remember to smile and enjoy the journey of yoga. Let go of any thoughts, judgments or criticisms and simply be present in each moment.

Yogic Wisdom
I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life. The Dalai Lama
