Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body in this grounding Hatha Yoga series designed for all experience levels.
Hatha Yoga is one of the traditional paths of yoga and encompasses much more than the physical postures we often associate with yoga today. Traditionally, Hatha is a practice of bringing the body, breath, and mind into greater balance through asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath practices), meditation, and intentional stillness.
The word Hatha is often interpreted through the symbolism of “ha” (sun) and “tha” (moon)—representing the balancing of seemingly opposing qualities: effort and ease, strength and softness, movement and stillness, activation and rest.
In this series, we honor those roots through a slower, intentional practice. Rather than moving quickly from one posture to the next, we spend time within each pose—exploring alignment, sensation, breath, strength, flexibility, and awareness. There is space to notice what is happening in your body rather than simply trying to achieve a particular shape.
Breath is an essential part of the practice. Through pranayama and mindful breathing, we explore the relationship between the breath, body, mind, and nervous system. Over time, the practice becomes less about performing postures and more about learning how to remain present with yourself through both effort and ease.
Each class incorporates a balance of movement and stillness and ends with Savasana, giving the body and nervous system time to settle and integrate the practice.
Hatha Yoga invites us to practice something we can carry beyond the mat: meeting intensity without becoming overwhelmed, finding softness without disengaging, and becoming more comfortable moving between activation and rest.
No previous yoga experience is necessary. Modifications and options are offered throughout class so you can create a practice that works for your body.
Come as you are. Move, breathe, notice, rest, and reconnect.
All levels welcome.
