The Core Values Practicing yoga refers to the practice of unifying the physical body, the mind and the spirit (represented by the breath). Hatha yoga involves a series of physical postures called asanas. Through its practice, we work to tame the mind, by focusing on the breath, and clear the body of any blockages that impede the flow of prana, or life energy. As a result, a practitioner feels physically and energetically cleansed and refreshed after a Hatha yoga practice. Is Hatha yoga competitive? Hatha yoga is non-competitive. Everyone is encouraged to work to the best of his or her ability each time s/he comes to the mat. A Hatha yoga practice is individual and will be affected by physical conditions, life situations and patterns of tension in the body and breath. No one s practice will look quite the same as another s nor will it necessarily look the same from one day to another. provide modifications or alternatives for certain postures, if necessary. The benefits of Yoga The benefits of a Hatha yoga practice will be noticed immediately in a general sense of well being. The long-term benefits, however, unfold with regular practice. Some include an improved quality and ease of the breath, a release of habitual, physical tension and a deeper knowledge and acceptance of oneself. The practice of Hatha yoga enhances every aspect of one s life. What if I have a medican condition? Everyone, regardless of physical limitations, can practice some type of Hatha yoga. It is, however, important to address any medical or physical conditions with the instructor prior to class. This will enable the instructor to provide modifications or alternatives for certain postures, if necessary. What do I need in order to participate? Yoga is practiced in bare feet and comfortable clothes in which it is easy to move. We do recommend the purchase of a sticky mat, which is designed for yoga practice. The most important thing to bring to class is an open, non-judgmental mind and a sense of adventure. Beginning a yoga practice involves embarking on a journey of svadyaya, or self-study. It is a time to tune into the workings of the mind and the breath and bring them back into harmony. It is a time to move moment to moment, breath to breath and to surrender to the flow of life.
