Blog Comment from a fellow yoga teacher:
"Most yoga students start out doing yoga at the gym,
then may be a yoga studio and possibly then entertain the idea of meditation.
Rod's journey began the other way round and his Yoga classes are focused on maintaining integrity in every pose with out going too far and risking injury or losing the mental focus.
His yoga classes are down to earth while highly inspirational and his studio houses many healing arts from Tai Chi to Reiki".

MAYURASANA
Yoga as we may know, originates from India and is an ancient form of ritual discipline, leading to spiritual awakening.
Even those who practice Yoga just for health or exercise, will be transformed slowly but surely to a better way of living.
Yoga in the west today is more geared to asana (body posture), though Yoga has it roots steeped in a more profound spiritual science.
