The tools of yogic sadhana that includes karana, asana, mantra and finishing activity will be presented sequentially over a series of monthly in-person workshops in NYC. These in-persons teachings will be supplemented by weekly online classes for participants to develop ease, stability and skill in application and refinement of these tools.
