Purification Practices

Yoga, in essence, is a system for purification — purification to reach a clearer understanding of the true self. And asana is merely one limb of the yoga path to cultivate that clarity. Although asana is a powerful practice accessible to all, mantra (devotional chanting), pranayama (breath control), and kriya (purifying exercises) are subtler yet sharper tools to cleanse the mind and heighten our inward sense.

In this workshop, we will explore these three techniques through several variations. There will be no postures in this workshop, and there are no prerequisites to attend apart from a desire to expand your practice and your awareness.

Bio: Henry Winslow is a dedicated yoga practitioner of 9 years, whose teaching is rooted in the Ghosh, Ashtanga, and Dharma Yoga traditions. In 2018, Henry took first place in the International Yoga Sport Federation’s world championships. Although strength and flexibility initially attracted him to the mat and remain a focal point of his teaching, his appreciation for the practice has since expanded beyond the physical. To Henry, yoga is above all else a tool for cultivating clarity. Through workshops, private and group classes, and his podcast Dharma Talk, Henry empowers students worldwide to connect to their innermost selves, where our natural resilience, unlimited power, and universal compassion reside.
