Hatha is the most popular form of yoga at our studio, and is the basis for other types of yoga such as Anusara, Vinyasa and Power Yoga. It is a system founded in postures, breath control, and meditation. Our Hatha Yoga classes are multi-level, with options given for beginners to advanced practitioners.
The word Hatha comes from the Sanskrit terms “Ha”, meaning sun, and “Tha”, meaning moon. The practice seeks to unite and balance pairs of opposites: right and left, female and male, hot and cold, rationality and intuition, movement and calm. These opposites all exist in our bodies and minds, but we have the tendency to favor one of the other. Hatha Yoga evens our imbalances, bringing unity between body, mind, and spirit. Through the continued practice of asanas (yoga poses), you will gain flexibility and strength, relieve tension and stress and become more centered and aware of your complete being.
Hatha classes welcome students of all levels and is a great way to begin your yoga journey.
