Hatha Yoga Flow

About this event

Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga derived from the Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon". Classes will typically start out relaxing with a focus on centering through the use of pranayama (breathing) or short meditations, then move onto warming up the body through sun salutations before progressing through the rest of the poses, for a balanced and complete yoga practice. Poses will typically be held longer, with an emphasis on alignment and sense awareness, balancing mind and body. Yoga therapy theories may also be introduced, making this class perfect for those looking for the therapeutic benefits of yoga. Modifications make this class suitable for all levels of practitioners. Bhakti Yoga, a path of love and devotion, will be incorporated into this class, creating an opportunity to cultivate a deeper, personal connection to one’s inner-self and universal energies through the use of Sanskrit mantras and chants. Students are welcome to chant or simply to listen and absorb the vibrations. The act of chanting and/or experiencing the vibrations opens up your heartspace, creating a path to self-realization and wrapping you in the loving embrace of universal connection. Classes will typically open with a short chant, include lots of great music during the practice, and close with a longer chant, often accompanied by live acoustic guitar.
