Section 2 (orange) Materials
Weekend 2 materials include posture labs for all the major sun salutation postures, as well as a variety of examples of creating "vinyasa" or "flow" from one posture to the next.

Also the most injurious, so please focus on your own safety as you practice, and listen carefully to the teachings in your own body. In addition to vinyasa style classes, we study the second chakra, the second limb, nutrition, more on the mechanics of the body, and our ongoing work on the first book of yoga, explained.
