Yoga Rules: Looking at our Cherished Notions

This workshop addresses some of the major pitfalls on the yoga asana path, in particular  our willingness to abdicate responsibility for our practice to an outside authority. We will look at some of the more popular yoga asana rules and how they apply to our own practice and life. We will also  have an opportunity to look at how our personal patterns and beliefs hijack our practice.
