Hatha Yoga

In a Hatha yoga class, you can expect to perform a series of physical postures (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama), practiced more slowly than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class. The ancient practice of Hatha Yoga, translating to “force, exertion”, aims to create balance in the body and mind as well as uniting the opposing qualities we all possess such as masculine and feminine. The translation of Hatha is important as it indicates right away that the student must apply effort in order to advance in their practice. If you enjoy a good workout but wouldn’t mind fewer vinyasas, give one of our Hatha Yoga classes a try!
