Classical Hatha Yoga is based on an ancient system which brings improved health, well being, and a sense of peace to those who practice it. The word "yoga" comes from the sanskrit word "yug" which means to "yoke" or to "join together." So "yoga" means to unite all aspects of body, mind, and spirit - to the whole.
Archaelogical discoveries have found forms of yoga in ancient India, Tibet, China, and Mayan cultures. Individuals in these cultures developed and created this system which was then passed from master to student from generation to generation, forming a "lineage."
While practicing yoga you become more aware of your body, your breathing, and your emotions and thoughts. Yoga assists in circulating and harmonizing your life force energies throughout all your body sustems so you are healthier and more peaceful.
Hatha ( Ha = Sun, tha = Mo
on ) is the yoga of balanced physical health
through breathing techniques (pranayama), poses (asanas), and deep relaxation (savasana). This style of yoga, although deep, is gentle and non-competitive. We highly recommend our classes to people who are recovering from injury or illness, as well as for beginning and continuing students.
Some of the benefits of regular practice are: Stress reduction and better stress management skills, increased flexibility, strength, stamina, and balance, more restful sleep, stronger immune function, improved circulation, release of toxins, gland stimulation, nervous system stimulated and toned, improved memory and other brain functions, more balanced metabolism, gain in inner-body wisdom, feeling centered, breath control, more positive outlook, improved self-esteem, cravings for "clean" food and water, and the list goes on...
Everyone who pursues yoga, regardless of age, physical condition, religious or spiritual beliefs, can experience the beauty, inner-guidance, and improved health which yoga provides.
