YogaPada teaches Yoga as a process of refinement. The experience moving from the gross to subtle, resistance to release....refinement of body and clarity of mind. In class students are encouraged to explore postures as the vehicle in which to realize the heart of the practice, the breath. It is here in the breath, or prana, that the seeds of meditation are planted, binding the attention from one posture to the next. The practice, upon reaching this level of maturity is meditation, sometimes in motion, sometimes in stillness until all experience whether difficult or easy, discomforting or pleasant, is embraced as the true essence of this innately transformational process.
