In this series of yoga demonstrations, we will learn how to safely  and effectively move in and out of each asana (posture), using the pranayama (breath) as our guide.  With the teacher/student setting,  we can explore the intricacies of correct alignment, and at the  same time, observe the options for modifications available in each  pose.  In our Yoga practice, it is also important to understand how  the asanas effect our bodies, as well as when we should and should  not approach each posture. A list of benefits, and  contraindications accompany each demonstration.

The 26 asanas covered in this application are the basic building  blocks of hatha yoga.  The postures found here apply to many of the  different styles of yoga; Ashtanga, Kundalini, Power,  Iyengar,  Yin, Moksha, etc, and can be used as a reference for questions  pertaining to each style.

Most importantly we wish to emphasize the significance of listening  to our breath and our bodies throughout our practice. True  understanding of the self can only be found by following and  learning to listen to the knowledge and wisdom of our physical being.
