Yoga

Hatha Yoga is a style involving a series of postures, or asanas, coupled with the in-and-out flow of breath. The goal is to achieve a balance in both the pattern of breathing and the asanas, which are done in a certain order, each successive pose counter-balancing the one before. Its pace is well-suited to beginners and experienced practitioners alike, allowing students to fully experience and learn each asana. The benefits range from increased flexibility and stress relief to the loosening of the muscles and help with physical conditions, such as asthma or back problems. Yoga practice also emphasizes personal self-awareness and strives for harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
