Dedicating time and space in your life for a home practice is the hallmark
of a serious yoga practitioner. Often we have the desire to practice but are
not sure what poses we should do without the voice of your instructor in our
ear. Below you will find easy to understand sequences that were taught in
my public classes highlighting home sequences appropriate for beginning
to intermediate level yogis as well as practices for therapeutic applications.

| Asana |
The word asana, literally means "seat" and most of the Hatha yoga postures use this suffix as part of
their Sanskrit names. When we practice asana, or yoga poses, we often hold them for a period of
time during which we "sit" with the pulling in our hamstrings, or the shaking in our legs. It teaches us
that if we can be with our physical limitations, without railing against them, we can use the
postures as a way to explore our bodies.
