Learn More About VariYoga – One Journey – Many Paths
VariYoga is a dynamic practice that recognizes ‘one size does not fit all’ and can be modified to meet the needs of the individual. The breath is used to link poses and sequences which range from gentle to vigorous, depending on individual ability. In addition, VariYoga includes an awareness of alignment, breathing techniques, and a philosophical understanding of Hatha Yoga.
““Goodness I have been overcome with thoughts and emotions after digging into your book. I had to move through the sequences last night before bed and was so amazed with the ease of which I enjoyed using the book. After getting your book again I want to see how I can amplify the power of VariYoga by representing it more fully. I’m not sure what that entails but I just had to reach out and thank you for the book.”

“I recently met the author of “VariYoga: One Journey, Many Paths” Andrea Fournet when she was in the Bay area visiting family and took my class. She was kind enough to give me a copy of the book she co-wrote with Bryan Fowler. I took some time to read through it and to practice with the straight-forward yoga practices the book offers. I really liked the book as a home practice book for a couple of reasons: 1) it is spiral bound, which makes it so easy to lay out on my mat and follow long with as I practice 2) the practices will be accessible to both beginners and more seasoned practitioners as well as new students to yoga who are older 3) the photos and bullet point descriptions are clear and understandable, and some modifications are offered.
