Explore these subtle practices in detail as Tamara leads you through understanding them and applying them to practice and teaching.

Drishti means gentle, steady gaze. Every posture has a Drishti, a gaze point. The drishti facilitates correct alignment in postures. Maintaining the steadiness of drishti keeps the attention focussed. If the eyes are wondering around from mat to mat it indicates ‘monkey mind.’ Steady Drishti enables meditation in motion through the establishment of one point of concentration.

Mudras seal an attitude and set a certain energetic circuit in the body. The attitudes and postures adopted during mudra practices establish a direct link between annamaya kosha, the physical body; manomaya kosha, the mental body; and pranayama kosha, the pranic body.

Bandha means lock and bandha is also translated to mean key. Thus, paradoxically, creating the lock of the bandhas provides a key to enlightenment.
