Yoga is a holistic health system with roots in India 5,000 years ago and does not belong to any religion. It is an art of living and a science dedicated to connecting with the divine. The word yoga means 'Union', bringing mind and body together, back to its natural state. The very name hatha, – a combination of ha meaning sun and tha meaning moon, suggests the union of opposites. It is a state of being in the present, focusing on the here and now. Every day we deal with the fluctuations of the mind and emotions – anger, sadness, frustration, jealousy, fear, nervousness, happiness, joy and excitement. We use yoga as a tool to manage everyday stressful situations.
By doing yoga through a series of poses that will make you sweat and burn calories, you'll start to notice small changes in how you feel. It will help you to have health, well-being, calmness, abundant energy and heightened consciousness. It is more effective than any other system for improving flexibility, muscle tone, endurance and posture.
Yoga is not competitive. Even when you're in a classroom full of people, it's still a personal practice. It is a time to look within, stay with our breath, and move through the flow of postures, always respecting our bodies.
Traditional Hatha Yoga includes: Asanas, Kriyas (purification rituals), Pranayama (Breathing Exercises – Regulating or controlling the breath) & Mudras for awakening Kudalini, Madra, Deep relaxation, Nutrition.
