The study of asana usually travels from the physical performance of poses toward their energetic depth. Here, Matthew draws upon his unique experience of practicing yoga with paralysis to give a deeply focused experience of asana in the other direction-from its inward sensation toward the physical action. The resulting insights are a boon to teachers who hope to share yoga with students of all abilities. Discussion and asana.

The effect of gravity often deepens and expands a student's inward energetic experience in an asana and thereby helps reveal its inner workings. Matthew uses his unique experience with yoga and paralysis to explore the subtle influence of gravity and how it teaches in a variety of asanas. Mastery of inversions is not required. Mostly asana.
