“The pulsation of Vinyasa is a relationship to the breath cycle that ripples out into the sequencing of consciousness, synching all cycles with the deeper pulse of breath-awareness.” –Shiva Rea
“Vinyasa is the sacred ritual of self-discovery and self-love, a devotional practice born from timeless, wordless sounds arising through one’s devoted heart in the form of sacred movement”. –Christopher Tompkins
