Asana practice covers postures across all major styles, built up daily over 3–4 hours of guided practice.

Asana is the seated, initiating pose of yoga that preconditions the body for other postures. It's practised across Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Iyengar styles and covers both methodology and hands-on practice, with 3–4 hours of daily practice.

Students are introduced to postures progressively, in increasing order of difficulty. Once the fundamentals are steady, you move on to asana flows, adjustments, and awareness of breath and subtle body alignment.
