In this one-on-one series of four 90-minute sessions you will learn to eliminate the “all or nothing” mindset that makes a home practice seem daunting, build a foundational sequence, and learn ways to alter your foundational sequence to introduce some variation or to change its length to fit your available time on any given day.
