This stage is for those who have already touched upon the philosophy of Yoga but want to make the practice more mindful and systematize their knowledge, applying it to daily life. Here you will delve deeper into the basics of Yoga theory and develop your practice, approaching more complex physical and mental exercises.
The second stage lasts for 18 classes, each dedicated to a specific topic. Along with the theory, you will immerse yourself in mindful practice and understand yourself better with each day due to the expansion of your horizons and deepening of your world order understanding.
Some classes will be accompanied by special tasks, as well as my recommendations on how to increase the effectiveness of your practice. For a more visual understanding of the asana performing techniques, you will find an infographic with precise alignment of asanas.
