The morning class is generally a more intensive class in which sequences are taught in detail and where any necessary individual adjustments are made. In the afternoon class you will be led through the movements learnt uninterrupted gaining an understanding how the postures flow together, thereby also developing the memory and self confidence to assist working towards self practice.
