Vinyasa Krama Mandiram’ means movement in stages; aspect of the process, that it is all changeful. VKM Moon & Lion cub is not just another set of sequences practicing physical movement. Based on VKM teaching, we emphasis the three layers of Yoga practice:

  • Asana - Each set of sequence has a unique style and energy, but also offers different variations for Your body.
  • Pranayama - Begins and ends by learning effortless breathing: from dynamic breathing within asana practice to meditation on the spaciousness within every breath. After all, Yoga is about breath.
  • Advaita - Non-dual witnessing, being aware of the one who is already aware in stillness.
