Hatha Yoga: A grounding, slower-paced practice that involves pranayama (deep breathing), mindful meditation, and asana (postures) with holds of 3-5 breaths to experience the full expression of the practice.

Is This Your Story?

Imagine attending a class for the first time and being guided through a brief introduction, starting with finding a comfortable seat, the teacher sharing the intention for the day, and a simple deep breathing exercise. You were then invited to set an affirmation to begin your asana (physical) practice.

Up next is the warm-up, and then the teacher guides you through a sequence of postures where you stay within the pose for a long hold (3-5 breaths) to promote body awareness while activating deep breathing to maintain stability. This subconsciously allows you to reflect inward, places you in the position to feel the pose, and find acceptance in experiencing the asana in the present moment.

Finally, you cool down and end the practice in Savasana, sealed with a moment for meditation. This is only one aspect of a yoga practice to cultivate a deeper connection within yourself. Make your journey to self-discovery and personal growth more enjoyable through Hatha yoga.
