A typical class begins in a sitting posture focusing on controlling your breathing. We then slowly move into a physical practice (asanas). Depending on the teacher, the variety and speed of the postures can vary, this is called Vinyasa, and each teacher has their own tempo. Once engaged in the practice of asanas, you are notably led to match inhalation and exhalation, this is called Pranayama, then to focus your concentration on specific visual points. Before the practice ends with meditation, you are invited to settle into the corpse pose, Savasana, a relaxation pose that requires surrender to the sensations of your body to experience deep relaxation. The combination of these three elements will allow you to develop a strength that you never thought possible.
