A lasting impression!
"So, I attended one of your classes a couple of months ago while on an extended road trip across the desert southwest. While that trip has ended, I've continued to venture out on many smaller excursions and on almost every one I've sought out new yoga studios and practices. I have to say that of all the yoga I've practiced in the last few months your class has made the most enduring positive and lasting impression and I just wanted to thank you and tell you to keep up the good work! Next time I'm climbing in New Mexico I'll be sure to drop in."

Vinyasa
means to place with intention. Using careful sequences of yoga postures and linking the breath
to the movement, Vinyasa yoga flow creates a dynamic yet gentle workout at a
moderate pace or faster pace for mor advance classes with plenty of time to explore foundation postures and alignment, creating a balance between heat, strength, developing calm and stability in the body/mind.
Why practice yoga? for many different reasons and most students who keep a yoga practice going is because it makes them feel really good and help them cope better with their own life.
Yoga can be practiced by all; stiff, limber, young old. Most of us start out quiet stiff and as time passes we acquire more flexibility and eventually find ourselves in poses, such as Padmasana (lotus pose) or Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose), which was hard to imagine to be possible to attain when we first start out yoga.
It is an individual practice that is best learned with a competent yoga instructor. If you have never done yoga before it is best to learn directly with a yoga teacher in a group class or through private instruction.
Yoga was originally taught from Guru to readied souls (students). Only few were given the opportunity to learn this ancient spiritual science, it was a hidden practice taught to men only, no women were allowed.
The science of yoga is not meant to be learned in books, from a DVD or on the net (unless you have years of experience with a teacher), but it is meant to be transferred via an experienced channel (teacher).
This is true for anything learned in life. If you look carefully you will see that anything you have learned thus far, you were introduce to by someone who was adept at his/her skill, you were somehow mentored into all that you do, your parents being first in tutoring and mentoring you.

Kundun means practicing the "Presence of a true Master" during the waking hours of one's day.
Being receptive to the intimate whisperings of one's chosen True Master (Sat Guru) through loving devotion and sweet anticipation of the commune with His essence. The devotee takes refuge in his Master's Love; developing an awareness of his continued presence.
