Almost every person who comes to us learns a breath practice before they learn a single pose.
That's not a modern wellness trend — it's the older part of the tradition. In the lineage we trained in, breath sits at the centre of the practice, not as a warm-up for the physical work but as the thing the physical work is preparing you for. Both of us came up through the Sri Sri School of Yoga, and that ordering was never presented as optional.
There's a practical reason too. A pose needs a mat, a bit of space and a body that's willing on the day. A breath practice needs none of those things. It comes with you to the car park, the waiting room, the difficult meeting. For someone managing a health condition, that portability is often worth more than flexibility.
So we start there. Tradition and practicality pointing the same direction — which, in our experience, is usually a sign you're on solid ground. 🌿
