Hatha Yoga This style of yoga focuses on allowing the body to find the pose through the breath. As mindfulness is developed, the body moves deeper into the poses in a safe yet effective manner. Flexibility, strength and stamina are developed while fostering a sense of well-being. Hatha yoga is for everyone. As the beginner becomes more experienced, the poses become more challenging. Flow Yoga Flow yoga is about linking the breath with the pose as we flow from pose to pose in a smooth easy manner, called a Vinyasa. This practice will bring strength, flexibility, openness, overall awareness, enhanced vitality and an ability to focus in the present. Flows can be done quickly for a more energizing workout or slowly for deepening into the poses. Whether your goal is stress reduction or aligning your body with your energy this practice will support your inner movement toward greater harmony and balance. Choose your Level – Gentle or Level 1 (for all levels) or Level 2 for experienced students.
