Our teacher has been conducting half-led primary series for those of us who attend the 6:30 PM weekday classes at the shala.
I look forward to them as opportunities to focus & work on my bandas , drishti & ujjayi.
The Ashtanga Yoga.Info site has this section entitled " With Banda , Drishti & Ujjayi , your body becomes a temple . When breathing & asana , tension & concentration come into one unit.
So with Ujjayi , Banda & Drishti you create the foundation of your practice ,
and the spiritual dimension of yoga develops ."
Tristana : The Lotus Blossom of Ashtanga Yoga
Ujjayi Pranayama : The Victorious Breath
Vinyasa : Like Beads on a Garland
Banda : Conducting Breath Through the Body
Asana + Drishti = Alignment
