This perspective on Yoga and Asana is Align Your Flow™ It is meditation in motion. It’s about using the linking of breath and movement to become completely absorbed in the present moment. It’s an approach to Vinyasa that emphasizes alignment as a way to develop what the ancient Yogis called eka grata or one-pointed focus.

It’s a physical practice that encourages the most vital and intelligent Self on the mat, disengaged from the chatter that so often distracts and defines. It’s a way to move the body consciously and thoughtfully, accurately observing the effects of actions and therefore acting more skillfully, which is both the essence and the goal of Yoga. It’s about cultivating a quality of attention in asana practice that translates into daily life.

It’s a way to create a relationship between what you do on the mat and who you are off the mat.
