Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga Learning to control body movements, breath, body functions, and the student gradually becomes more in charge of their physical being. During this process, the mind is trained to observe sensations, emotions, energy movement, leading to an inner awareness of how the mind functions. From that awareness the mental training becomes more refined and explicit in its methods of using this powerful tool for healing, and creating life as it should be. Ashtanga This ancient practice consists of an energetic sequence of postures that flow together and produce heat to detoxify the body. Poses can be easily modified, and injuries and limitations accommodated. Ashtanga incorporates the use of ujjayi breathing, "the victorious breath," to build heat, strengthen the lungs, and steady the mind. Physical strength and flexibility are the benefits, not the requirements, of learning ashtanga! At the introductory level, the series will be taught incrementally and many modifications will be offered. Hatha Whereas ashtanga involves ujjayi breath and a sequence of postures, hatha yoga is an umbrella category that is not limited to a specific sequence or type of breathing. Hatha yoga can be approached at a more gentle, slower pace than ashtanga, but will also improve strength and flexibility. Introductory hatha instruction will focus on correct alignment and incorporate varied breathing practices. Primary Techniques Taught • Asanas (physical postures to strengthen, tone, increase flexibility and stamina) Levels Taught • Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga for Beginners and Intermediate

WHAT IS YOGA?
The Yoga postures, or Asanas, exercise every part of the body, stretching and toning muscles, joints, spine, and the entire skeletal system. Regular participation in Yoga will help to: burn calories; improve posture; improve overall physical fitness; improve skin; enhance mental clarity; improve concentration; lead to greater self-understanding and acceptance; increase well-being; and lead to a more flexible and tolerant attitude.
Yoga promotes relaxation by releasing physical and mental tension, liberating vast resources of energy. The yogic breathing exercises, known as Pranayana, revitalize the body, calm the mind, soothe the soul, and leave you feeling refreshed. Yoga brings the body, mind and soul together in harmony; it opens your heart to the stillness and beauty underneath.
