Practical and tutorial classes
Over half of the course is dedicated to practical and hands-on tutorial classes, which are essential to your learning experience with them.
The tutorial classes (asana lab and meditation lab) blend theory with immediate practice. In these sessions, you’ll learn how to perform specific postures correctly (or meditation techniques), including modifications, contraindications, and benefits. You’ll then practice these postures right away with hands-on guidance and corrections from your instructor. This is the perfect time to ask questions and take notes.
Practical classes, on the other hand, are purely about practice - no note-taking needed.
For pranayama (breathing exercises) and shuddi kriyas (cleansing practices), you’ll engage in these practices during the daily morning sessions, with the theory being covered separately as you study the Hatha yoga texts.
