Active Preparation Culminating in Quiet Seated Forward Extensions (Short Course; Level: Intermediate)

The power of asanas manifests only once one stays in them for sufficiently long time.  In the case of forward extensions, what manifests is extreme quietness and inward-liness.

This Short Course ends in long holds in seated forward extensions without any props.  The preparation for this is done with a certain theme that is introduced in the first session, and progressively re-inforced as well as refined to make the final experience rich.  Interestingly, the preparatory sessions do not have too many forward extensions
