In this session of the Immersion Study Group, Naomi explores the three Gunas and how their inherent qualities shape every asana, our practice, and our lives.

The three Gunas are present in all things, Tamas, Rajas and Sattva. You may be familiar with them as inertia, activity and evenness or balance. Explore how each asana has an inherent quality of its own and how we can use this to bring about change in ourselves, our practice and our lives.

This session will focus on:

- Philosophy – The Gunas: Tamas, Rajas, Sattva

- Family of Asana – Back extensions

- Anatomy – Nervous system – CNS vs. PNS; Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic

- Pranayama – Viloma
