When these principles are well understood and embodied through skillful repetition, the path of Hatha Yoga will unfold in an organic, unobstructed way. Spending time initially in this way, will save time in the long run, as one will not need to go back and clean up mistakes made from a hastily and incompletely laid foundation. Each class will begin with a short discussion of a key principle of practice which will then be taken into action and worked with. One, two, or three sessions per week may be attended. Participation in these classes requires some prior experience with the Balakrama and Chaya Sanchalanam forms. Drop-in policy: Only students who have successfully completed a prior Balakrama or Chaya Sanchalanam course may drop-in to individual classes.
