Kemetic Yoga and the YogaSkills Method is a unique system created by Dr. Asar Hapi & Yirser Ra Hotep in 1975. It is characterized by The Rule of Four Breathing and Geometric Progression of the body. Our focus is to move energy, or life force, through the body in a very slow and deliberate manner. Some of the poses are familiar with different names, and some of the poses are unique to this system of practice. Kemetic yoga starts and ends with meditation and breathing. I will offer modifications for poses and show how props can be used. Lay your mat, have your blocks and blanket nearby, slow down, and practice with us.
