This sequence of Yoga Postures helps to quieten the mind.
Maintaining the alignment and action of each asana direct your attention inwards.This cultivates a connection with the sacred space inside us that is not thought, or feeling, it is our true nature.
This yoga practice balances hormonal levels and strengthens the nervous system. It is particularly helpful for those who suffer from sleepless nights.
