A dedicated yoga practice involves moving layer by layer through the connective tissues of the body. The anatomist Andry Vleeming described the fasciae as the “soft skeleton”. In this class we align and balance our fascia by alternately lengthening and shortening our connective tissues. This provides a feeling of integration and wholeness in the body.

Prajna Yoga: Tias & Surya Little
Prajna Yoga makes its home in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico – the home of Tias and Surya Little. We believe that yoga is a pathway that begins in the outer layers of body and mind and navigates inward to the mystical, subtle and rarely seen interior. We combine meditative practice with the power and grace of asana training. In a process that requires sensitivity and inner listening, we explore the sheaths of connective tissue, muscle and bone in order to bring about greater wakefulness, luminosity and space within.
