  • What is Ashtanga Yoga? David breaks the purpose of this practice down into 15 comprehensive points.
  • What's the relationship between mind, prana, and breath, and how does Ashtanga Yoga illuminate this connection? David explains, and he also provides a tip for how you can bridge the theories discussed in this workshop with the practice.
