Conceived by Nāthamuni as one of the most important orientations in personal practice that utilizes the tools of āsana and prāṇāyāma, rakṣana krama is designed to protect our health as we move through time and space.

In rakṣana krama with a structural focus, āsana-s are adapted in order to deepen our understanding of how our structure is changing over time and, with that understanding, work to: maintain or regain proper alignment, maintain or improve joint stability and range of motion, strengthen weak muscles, release chronic muscular contraction, maintain or restore symmetry, increase circulation, and identify and transform dysfunction neuro-muscular movement patterns. 

Learn the unique Viniyoga methods of adapting and sequencing breath-centric āsana. In this series of classes, experience well-designed sequences through which we will systematically explore and work with each of the key areas of our anatomy.

In rakṣana krama with a physiological focus, breath-centric āsana and prāṇāyāma are adapted in order to deepen our understanding of how our physiological systems are impacted by the pressures and stresses of daily life in order to support or improve their function. Learn the unique Viniyoga methods of breath adaptation in āsana to prepare for specific prāṇāyāma ratios and techniques. We will use these tools to systematically explore and work with each of our major physiological systems.

** This series includes demonstrations which can be very helpful for those new to yoga and Viniyoga in particular.
