Beautiful Montage of Human Movement: Prasara Yoga Demonstration

For this Friday, I have a fun video to share with you. I think this is a marvelous display of human movement by my coach, Scott Sonnon, the creator of the Circular Strength Training system. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is beautiful, artistic movement – yet the purpose is not to impress others – this is not a show, it’s just a part of Sonnon’s daily personal practice.

This clip is from a documentary Scott filmed about Prasara Yoga. I haven’t spoken about yoga much on my blog, but you should know that I practice regularly and use the techniques Scott teaches. Prasara Body-Flow yoga is one of three ‘wings’ in the CST system and it has literally changed the way I train dramatically. Its inclusion in my program has ensured my consistent gains in progress as well as protect myself from injury, among many other things that are beyond this short blog post. Prasara Yoga is like the glue that holds the rest of my training program together.

There is so much benefit to be had from practicing Prasara Yoga, but for now, I just want you to enjoy this short video.
