In Hatha Yoga, developing a solid foundation through basics is essential. This process involves conditioning your body, mind and temperament through study, understanding and practice. Yoga practice is also a personal art form; with it you can explore, experience and express your sensibilities. However, it is necessary to understand approaches to arranging yourself in order to do so, hence the Master Class

The emphasis is targeted study and clarification. These sessions are designed to augment your ongoing class study.
