Week 4: BREATH, BONE, GESTURE

Breath is Rajasic, Bone is Tamasic and Gesture is Sattvic


BREATH
Pranayama for balancing the Gunas can be used to either calm or energize.



BONE
Articulation, Alignment and Joint Functions 

GESTURE
Bandhas are gathering contractions deep in the body's cor line that help circulate heat through out the body and direct energy a d strength within the Asana.  When we get our Bandhas right, they actually unlock the potential of the pose and creates a deeper understanding of the potential of each asana, and is the foundation for the powerful Gesture aspect of the asana.
