All yoga practices offer opportunities to explore and expand our awareness.

The notion of Range of Motion is expanded to mean the totality of potential range of healthy movement that we can consciously do. Range of Action is the complete set of possible variations along the many variables involved in healthy activity. Range of Action encompasses all the different aspects of you that are involved in the activity. Using your awareness to explore your range of action enriches the experience and enhances your ability to develop nuance in your practice. Presence is an ever-evolving journey of exploration that leads us to an ever-expanding integrated awareness.
