These postures can be learned in a fair amount of time. However, can take a lifetime to master. Even as your teacher, I am continuing to improve on my form. Thus my mantra, teach what you know and continue to grow. In my class, flow, breath, and balance are priority. Have fun and laugh!

Note: There are many "flavors" of the 24 form. Some postures many vary from video to video.
In my classes I take into consideration, range of motion, knee, hip, and back and balance constrictions and teach concentration on fluidity rather than perfection.
