As we continue on the path of understading the poses, we broaden our perspective with philosophical texts as well as getting real juicy with the muscles of our body - yeah, nitty gritty anatomical functions of the glorious body. Also starting to ask the question Who Am I? 'Cause, really, have we ever asked it genuinely, and really really, can we ever find an answer?

Module 5
Full days
With all the knowledge you've acquired so far, how are you supposed
to put it all together so that you can share it with others? Sequencing is
like making a soup, you have the ingredients but you need the
measurements, timings and toppings to make it tasty.
Bring out the apron, let's go!
