Beginners Hatha Yoga

Beginner Yoga classes provide a slower paced program with more description and commentary accompanying each asana/posture. Breath awareness is introduced, we practice deep breathing, mindfulness and listening to the body. Sequencing is built around sun salutations. Guided relaxation will lead you into a world of total bliss, you will leave the mat looking forward to your next yoga experience.

Rise and Shine Hatha yoga 

There is a general misconception that “gentle yoga” is not as beneficial as the more active styles. However, the gentle styles of yoga, such as Restorative Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, can stimulate the immune system and improve one’s overall health.

Gentle yoga styles help to get the body out of stress-mode, release tension, calm the nervous system, gain clearer thinking, and even restore an overall sense of balance to the body, the mind and the soul. While stress is essential in certain moments where we need to achieve a goal and the stakes are high, the body’s stress apparatus (the brain, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles) become chronically over or under-activated when even low-levels of stress are persistent. Chronic stress can produce mental and physical illness over time, and the list of potential effects is too long and sad to list to here.

People often think that gentle yoga classes are easy, but these may be students who are already stimulated in life (always on screens) and physically very active (athletics and fitness outside yoga) and still choose to only practice vigorous forms of yoga. Unsurprisingly, many people actually find these classes more difficult because they require the body and the mind to relax when they have been coping with hyper-stimulation for years.

Yin Yoga

The most common form of Yoga offered today is Hatha / Yang, active Yoga. Yin Yoga is the other half. Seated poses are held for a time, so we can target the deeper tissue/fascia, the connective tissue, which is concentrated in the joints. Yin yoga practice keeps our joints nimble. In Yin, we stimulate energy/chi/prana flow through channels called ‘body meridians’ (body’s healing energy pathways). In an active practice, yang/hatha yoga, the focus is mainly on strength and tone of the muscular body. Maintained harmony and balance between these two forces keeps us in good health.

Perfect for all levels!
