During class

1. Success in your practice is not and cannot be estimated by outer measures; its all about inner experience.
2. It is understood by those participating in the practice that they practice by themselves for themselves; You are 100% responsible for the experience you have in your practice.
3. Peter uses general and specific verbal instructions to support your practice. This guidance will be more personal and specific the better the teacher understands your experience. Questions and requests of clarification are welcome.
4. At times Peter will provide hands on adjustments, as a powerful method of informing the asana, if for any reason this is not what you want please communicate what is acceptable to you to the teacher in advance or during the class (don’t wait until after).
5. The group focus and energy can be greatly enhanced by the intention you arrive with.
6. To hold space and focus for each other we observe quietness in the practice space.
