* Balanced Hatha Yoga – balance of “sun” and “moon” energies.

* Breath and movement are synchronized within and between asanas.

* Rhythm and speed of body movement mirrors the flow of the breath.

* Breath is given primacy – asanas form around the breath.

* Continuity in the flow of awareness, internalization, concentration or action within and between asanas, soothing and harmonizing the mind.

* Simultaneous practice of asana, pranayama, pratyahara and dharana.

* Rediscovering and honoring the inherently pulsating, dynamic, moving nature of your being!

* Vinyasa Krama – honoring the bodymind in moving through the practice with appropriate sequencing of asanas.

* Use of “The Vinyasa” – a group of asanas designed to counterbalance, integrate, assimilate and further prepare the body for whatever asana is next.

* Integration of pratikriyasana – counterposes – to promote balance.

* Sthiram Suhkam Asanam: steadiness, ease & presence of mind.

* Continuous reestablishment of movement as a means of recentering the body’s nervous, circulatory and energy systems.

* Awakening energy in the entire body.

* Exploring and cultivating the integration of body, mind and breath by “playing the edge” while feeling and moving “lines of energy.”

* Cultivating radiant wellbeing and a equanimous spirit.
