  • Learning energetic alignment and hands-on assist for 14 core asanas of sun salutations
  • Learning classical namaskars and Shiva’s innovative dancing warrior and rhythmic vinyasa sequences that are practiced around the world
  • Solar and Lunar Practices – Learning class sequences to creatively adapt to all levels and energetic states.
