David Kossowski
What I teach at ŌHIA:
Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga
Teaching style:
Anatomically informed – energetic flow and breath, encouraging self-reliance.
Inspired by mostly traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa but also more modern Vinyasa Styles the classes are thought through and follow certain alignment principles which prioritize anatomical safety, pranic (energetic) flow and “Tristana” (Meditation in movement).
The physical practice is seen as the bedrock of yogic practice which releases past conditioning from the body and thus ultimately allows us to experience the here and now, seeing Life with greater clarity.
The postures themselves – instead of being reduced to something to be achieved or performed – become a container for meditative experience which can lead to transformation of one’s life.
David believes that Asana practice should serve and fit the practitioners and not the other way around.
