This UNIQUE program offers students a personalized yoga practice that will be tailored to their specific needs and preferences. It requires a commitment to practice and in return offers the many benefits that a well-rounded, individualized practice confers: physical flexibility, strength and stamina, together with mental clarity and a greater sense of well-being. Based on the teachings of TKV Desikachar & T. Krishnamacharya (the founder of the lineages taught at Yoga Sutra), this method of teaching each student individually is the traditional method of yoga study and practice. It is suitable for students of all levels: beginners looking for a well-rounded practice to which they can commit, intermediate students seeking to refine their practice, and more advanced students looking for new challenges. Individual problems/health issues can be specifically addressed and worked with, so that students of all ages and states of health will benefit greatly from this program. Individualized practices may include the following: asana sequences (postures), pranayama (breathing), meditation and chanting practice, as taught at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Madras, India. STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM Participants will meet with Guta for a minimum of three private 60 minute sessions where she will customize a practice and refine it over time. The practice will be written down so the student can follow it on his/her own. Guta Hedewig started practicing yoga in 1991. She has studied the teachings of Krishnamacharya with TKV Desikachar and Kausthub Desikachar at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai where she has completed advanced yoga courses.
