http://www.melissawest.com During episode 40 of namaste yoga we continue our series on the yamas and niyamas with the third niyama or personal practice, tapas. The root of tapas, tap means to heat and so this asana practice is about creating heat to cause positive change. This is a vigorous class that involves both kundalini and hatha yoga. Kundalini kriyas are used to give us the power to maintain a course of action and the ability to break habits and create new ones. This class requires austerity and zealous commitment to staying with a challenging and sometimes uncomfortable practice while always honouring the well-being of our bodies.
