Introduction: Hatha Yoga Hatha Yoga combines postures (asanas) with conscious breathing and focus to develop strength, flexibility and mental clarity. The students can expect to develop body awareness and explore varied postures in a mixed-level environment. Hatha and Meditation Hatha and Meditation uses asana and pranayama together to relax tensions, soothe the body and relax the mind, culminating in an extended period of meditation. This is perfect for the mind, body and spirit. Hatha Yin This is a slower, quieter practice that focuses on creating flexibility in the joints and connective tissue, encouraging more ease in the body and an improved flow of prana/chi. This style of yoga asks us to take passive poses for longer periods of time to train our bodies and minds to slow down, listen and be more present.
