Hatha Yoga - for the whole you
Class Times
|
Hatha Yoga is the yoga of physical postures and is often used as an umbrella term that includes specific practices like Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga.
These days, Hatha is most often used to describe gentle, generic classes that don't adhere to any particular system. A Hatha class will likely be a slow-paced stretching class with some simple breathing exercises and perhaps seated meditation. This is a good place to learn beginners' poses, relaxation techniques and become comfortable with yoga. The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon". Hatha Yoga aims to unite and balance pairs of opposites, especially the active, masculine (sun) and passive, feminine (moon) aspects of the physical body, subtle body and mind. Beginners welcome. |
