hatha yoga combines posture (yoga asana) and breath (pranayama)
to bring your mind and body into harmony.

Hatha Yoga stands as a timeless practice, anchoring its roots deep in tradition while remaining flexible to cater to modern needs. We are thrilled to offer two distinctive types of Hatha Yoga classes: Hatha – Strength & Stability and Hatha – Gentle. Both classes involve a mix of yoga asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), as well as meditation to provide a holistic approach to your practice and wellbeing.

“Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled
 with peace, joy and serenity.”

Hatha – Anyway You Want It

  1. Hatha – Strength & Stability: From the viniyoga tradition, all movements are initiated from the breath – this class targets the core muscles, improving your posture, enhancing stability, and building strength. You can expect slow-paced, controlled movements that challenge your endurance and discipline – allowing you to move past the body into the deeper layers of your being. Just be here, now.

 

  1. Hatha – Gentle: Designed for relaxation and gentle stretching, this class is a perfect choice for anyone who looking to unwind and release stress. The focus is on slow movements and deep breathing, providing an oasis of calm in your busy schedule.

 

Both of these offerings are suitable for beginners yet provide profound insight into postural/mental imbalances of even the most seasoned practitioner.

The Benefits of Hatha Yoga

Regardless of the style you choose, Hatha Yoga offers a wide range of benefits:

  1. Increased strength and flexibility: The asanas improve muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility.
  2. Stress relief: Deep, controlled breathing and mindful movements help alleviate stress, promoting mental tranquility.
  3. Enhanced respiratory efficiency: Pranayama techniques improve breathing efficiency, enhancing overall health.
  4. Better balance and stability: Regular practice can improve balance and proprioception, contributing to better functional fitness.

 

So, whether you’re seeking to build strength, relax and rejuvenate, or simply achieve a balanced workout, our Hatha Yoga classes are here  for you at any stage of your wellness journey. Step onto the mat, tune into your breath, and find the Hatha class that resonates with you.
