“Happily, as Yoga has become so increasingly more accessible and practiced by more and more people around the world, I am excited to be able to contribute to redirecting the discussion of Yoga, back to its primary principles, to the practice of Hatha Yoga Asana done safely, effectively, and properly. It’s more important than ever.”
