About The Path of Yoga: Asana & Movement

I often emphasize 'active holds' in my flows instead of just passive stretching. This is not just about flexibility; it is about engaging your muscles to build real strength and increasing your range of motion safely. When you hold a pose actively, you are not just bending; you are building the stamina to stay steady in discomfort, a skill that translates directly from the mat to your daily life.
