Hatha Yoga

"Therefore remember that the practices of hatha yoga, asana, and pranayama are ultimately intended for developing the quality of human consciousness, not just the body."
-Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Hatha yoga helps us to be more aware of our bodies, which supports the process of developing mindfulness and other meditative states of mind. This is why Hatha Yoga is an excellent complement to and preparation for the practice of meditation. Emphasizing awareness and non-competitive in nature, yoga increases flexibility, balance, and strength. Our aim for these classes is to go beyond the merely physical or mental side of our being to embody all of ourselves.
