People enter yoga asana practice for various reasons. One common reason to start yoga asanas is to remove physical and mental ailments after trying various modes of conventional treatment. Another reason is purely for physical fitness, wanting to do the many fancy poses that asana practice has to offer. After practicing for several years, they begin to discover a dimension of asana practice that is much more valuable than doing fancy poses. They go from the gross aspects of asana practice to its more subtle aspects. And when they let go of the need to strike a picture-perfect pose, and instead bask in the joy that comes with a pose, they find their bodies becoming more malleable to do poses that they never thought it was possible for them to do.
Just to be able to do some of the poses for many years, requires one to change one's lifestyle to one more conducive to maintaining an asana practice. One finds this with many long-term Ashtanga Vinyasa and Iyengar yoga practitioners. This includes getting up early in the morning, going to bed early, regulating one's diet -often to a Vegetarian diet, etc. These lifestyle changes one makes, result in enormous health benefits - both physical and mental.
In this workshop, we will practice a few poses found in the Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series and use the concepts of Prana, bandha and Agni (the body's fire) to illustrate how the lifestyle changes one makes, augment these subtle-body entities, thus making one's asana practice deeper.
