“In my teaching, I emphasize learning the Principles of Alignment, which aids students in properly aligning their muscles and bones in the poses. Achieving correct physical alignment in asanas allows energy to flow more freely and ultimately promotes creativity and freedom both on and off the mat.”
– Namaste’ Esther
