The outer alignment of a yoga pose is like the gift wrap on a present. It may be beautiful, but the real treasure is inside. Learn how to practice the poses from the inside out, using sensation and the breath to draw you deeper into the inner experience of your yoga practice. Experience each pose as the movement of breath in your body, and let the breath guide each movement between poses.
