There are many different styles of yoga. In Western culture, most yogic practices focus on asana (poses) also known as Hatha yoga. Practices like Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, and gentle or all-level yoga are examples of styles that emphasize asanas.
The definition of yoga is "Unity." It is meant to be a practice that creates a sense of oneness. The pyshco-physical connection gained from learning the Alexander technique allows for greater ability to access self sensing in a more fine tuned way. This helps with mastering the mental and physical coordination of the asana practice and with the flow of moving from one posture to the next.
Breathing coordination is exceptionally important in any form of Yoga practice. Breathing is one of the ways we can sense effectively, if we are allowing movement within the whole of our system to be present. The additional natural breathing coordination from alexander work will facilitate greater full body breathing coordination through the yoga practice.
