This class is a great choice for people that are new to yoga, haven’t been active for a while or just want a slower pace of yoga. Hatha translates as ha meaning “sun” and tha meaning “moon.” Hatha practice refers to the opening of the many channels in the body, enabling a pathway for energy to flow freely and create a balance in the masculine (ha) and feminine (tha) aspects in us all.
Each class focuses on a physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. There are many benefits from this type of yoga:
Breathing (pranayama), relaxation and meditation techniques will be shared that will help alleviate stress and anxiety.
Gentle postures (asana) will be talked through and demonstrated, making it easy to follow, whilst building on strength, balance, and flexibility.
The physical element of this practice also helps stimulate the lymph systems, aiding the body’s ability to fight infections.
Essentially Gentle Hatha Yoga will mean a healthier, happier you!
