"Rome wasn't built in a day" - rather than hurriedly 'setting the bar too high', we build solid foundations first, providing a good platform to grow from.
The DYP is still a challenging sequence of postures and requires attention, commitment, perseverance. Nevertheless, if you are serious about wanting to learn dynamic forms of yoga, this method will provide a sensible and enjoyable way in.

Every time you come back to the class you will go through the same sequence until you're thoroughly familiar with the practice and are ready to take a step up - you can then move along to the next stage in three alternative but interlinked directions, and:
