We work through the execution of various sequences of ASANAS or POSTURES, conducted in a PRECISE and CAREFUL manner.

The focus is on the correct ALIGNMENT within each pose. When it is not possible, we use ELEMENTS to assist us to obtain the maximum benefits of the Asanas. These can help us to generate more internal SPACE, to give SUPPORT, to have a deeper penetration in the posture, to intensify it or to STAY longer in the posture, among other reasons. Therefore, this practice is suitable for EVERYONE, regardless of age or physical condition.
