Y oga teacher Binuta Sudhakaran Sudhakaran explains that yoga allows us to recognize and access our connection to the universe through stillness (meditation) or movement (asana). The practice can give us a sense of peace and grounding and help heal the stress and trauma stored in our physical body and bring us back to alignment with our relationships and environment. “When I teach asana, I provide enough variety with modifications to suit different body types. My classes involve chanting—using sound to align energies— philosophy, alignment-based asana sequences, pranayama (loosely translated as breath control), and dhyana (meditation).” teaches in the Roots of Yoga Studio out of Davis, CA, and online and says that yoga can be for anyone who is human. “Irrespective of whether you are old or young, athletic, flexible, spiritual, religious, or atheist, your yoga practice can meet and serve you wherever you are at the moment.” She encourages all practitioners to access their inner wisdom while practicing so they can take what resonates with them and leave behind what does not. “I am cognizant at all times that yoga is a spiritual tradition that has existed for many millennia, has traveled the world, and is constantly changing and evolving to connect to different cultures and bodies,” she explains.
