This course is for those are familiar with basic yoga practice and principles, relating to postures, breathing and focussed attention. Building on these basics, we will continue to develop and experience the intimate relationship that exists between body, breath and mind. We will aim to work more deeply and precisely with the body and more powerfully with the breath, and to look at the ways our mental attitudes affect our feelings and behaviour. An open, friendly atmosphere, in which questions and observations are welcome, will be offered. The tutor for this class is also a teacher-trainer for the British Wheel of Yoga and was certified as such by Sri TKV Desikachar.
