Slow yoga · Kyoto
Less, but slower.
That is the practice.
Slow yoga in Kyoto for people worn out by doing more. Fewer shapes, held longer, breathed through.
The practice
Four ways in
Wakabasa strips the practice back. A handful of shapes, held long enough to feel, paced entirely by the breath.
A short sequence, taught until it is second nature.
A few shapes, held past the point of fidgeting.
Sitting practice for people who cannot sit still.
Floor work for the hour before sleep.
