Rounding
Discover the Advanced Practice of Rounding
Rounding is a powerful technique that gently prepares the mind and body for meditation, allowing for a deeper, more restorative experience.
This practice is a simple, intentional sequence of soft, flowing asanas (yoga poses), pranayama (breathwork), and Sakura meditation—all working together to ease the body into profound relaxation. As tension and fatigue melt away, the mind settles effortlessly, amplifying the benefits of your meditation practice.
Think of it as a way to supercharge your inner calm, helping you release stress on a deeper level and step into a greater sense of balance and clarity.
Once you’ve learned the practice of rounding, you can seamlessly incorporate it into your meditation routine at home, deepening your experience whenever you need it.
“Asana loosens the stress,
pranayama softens the stress, and
meditation dissolves the stress”
— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
