Vinyasa Krama: Unlocking the Sequencing Synergy of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra

Vinyasa Krama, translating to "wise progression," encompasses the art and science of sequencing in yoga. It is a rich body of knowledge that empowers you to systematically design classes with specific goals, crafting practices that seamlessly flow from beginning to end. This study integrates time-tested systems from Ayurveda (the science of well-being), pranayama (the science of breath), asana (methodology related to bodily systems), meditation (the science of mind and soul), and tantra (the ancient tradition weaving spirit, energy, and matter).
