The Doshas and the Gunas
This workshop recognizes the fact that not all asana practices work for all body types or states of mind.

Our ongoing study of yoga is deepened by understanding the play of the three qualities of mind known as the gunas. Combining this study of the gunas with an elementary look at the three doshas, vata, pitta, and kapha, helps to give a framework for participants to develop an appropriate personal practice to address their unique needs.
