This traditional beginner-friendly Hatha yoga class will completely stretch the physical body, focus the mental body, soothe the emotional body, and recharge and revitalize the energy body. Each week the class will be different. Expect to do a round of sun or moon salutations, and standing, kneeling, sitting, prone, and supine asanas, always moving with and mindful of the breath. We may incorporate some short flows, moving from one pose to the next. We will pay close attention to alignment for the safety of the body and to maximize the flow of the life force, prana, in each pose. The foundation of the practice is mindfulness and use of the breath to find strength and sweetness in the practice, balancing effort with ease.
