SKY Practice: From Foundation to Freedom

Roots: Grounding & Stability

We begin by establishing a firm foundation—relating to the earth, learning to support ourselves, and refining posture and movement with precision.

Essential concepts of what is required in forward bends, backbends, side bends, twists and inversions are explored and provide a means to advancement through primary principles of movement and posture. Through linking static postures, we become embedded in Hatha and incorporate measure, drishti, breathing and counterposes. Strength and stability are the qualities that are emphasised as we cover the fundamental elements of the practice.

Ascension: Progress & Integration

With stable roots, the practice safely expands. We explore movement as a conscious evolution—linking breath, body, and awareness in rhythmic harmony.

Peak: Expression & Joy

The culmination is not a final destination but an opening—toward deeper freedom, advanced practice, and the ability to craft one's own journey with wisdom and joy.
