Elias' first love in Yoga, in 1992, was Bikram Yoga. One very significant lesson that Elias first learned directly from Bikram's book, still applies to his personal daily practice and in all his Yoga teaching today.
That is to, breathe 'normally', in your full expression of all poses.
When you allow your normal breath to define your depth you eliminate unnatural physical and mental resistance.
Looking forward to sharing Yoga with you.
Kindest regards- Elias Gaitan
