Zero to Hero - Beginning in Savasana (zero) followed by a gradual warming up of the body and an intensification of asanas / pranayamas as the pace and tempo of the music /rhythms increase which result in a crescendo...a peak (Hero) and then drop away again back to savasana (zero).
Zero to Hero differs in the sense that as the pace of the session increases postures such as Parsva Bakasana, Vishvamitrasana, Bhujapidasana, Tittibasana, Adho Mukha Vrkshanasana will be brought in randomly in rapid and surprising succession (although the occasional mini workshop may spontaneously occur). These will be limited, as the emphasis is upon encouraging the students to attempt briefly every posture with an attitude of Fun and Curiosity, where the idea of 'Perfection' in the posture is replaced with a light hearted 'let's have fun and have a go' attitude that often results in a higher ratio of success in performing some or a greater proportion of the postures than the traditional routes but more importantly leaves the body itself with 'Good Memories' of the event and feeling healthy and happy!
Three Foundation Attitudes underpinning Zero to Hero:
1. Devotional Attention to the moment by moment, Protoplasmic responses of the body.
2. Relinquishing of effort / force - attitude of light hearted
3. Relinquishing Ego - attitude of humility
