Lately I have taken some private lessons with my
teacher as I am really concerned on learning more about yoga philosophy and
history while deepening my asana knowledge: what is the correct alignment for
each asana, which muscles are active during each posture, what are the benefits
if done correctly, what are the risks if done incorrectly, what modifications
can be applied for different needs etc. Although I am not new in yoga and most
of the primary series asanas are more than familiar to me, I didn't have a teacher that could provide this kind of information to me in the past. My
teacher not only helped me with all the above but also gave me directions on
further book reading and even gave me some of his own material that he used in
previous workshops.
