In the classic Indian tradition, the practice session begins with a Sanskrit chant and some pranayama breathing to facilitate the shift to a more meditative state. It continues with a modified mixed-level Ashtanga practice–vigorous and deeply relaxing– and ends with a guided meditation and visualization to deepen relaxation while reinforcing the integration of mind, body, and spirit. The class is led by candlelight.
