What do you hope students experience in your class?
An openness to transformation. Practically, I hope students gain a deeper understanding of asana - whether that's the physical shape, the intelligent use of props, or experiencing a posture in a new way. I'd love for students to move beyond what they thought was possible and begin developing their own practice at home, supporting themselves physically, emotionally and mentally.
