You will bring a level of sophistication to your teaching and overcome boundaries and limitations you may have placed on yourself.

This systematic approach to awakening Kundalini will have a profound effect on your personal life, weaving your inner world with your outer world and creating a symphonic effect on the quality of your life.
Course Description
Vinyasa Krama in Sanskrit means an intelligent sequencing of events from beginning to end. In Yoga it is a sequence of postures and breath where each movement flows to the next and every breath supports the movement and every movement supports the breath. This course is a study on how to weave an intelligent theme of movement, breath, & meditation into a seamless fabric and create an energetic outcome that addresses the different aspects of our being.
Inspired by personal practice and connected to the lineage of the great Sri T. Krishnamacharya you will learn to share Yoga as a healing and wellness modality with prana as the center piece.
