Yoga

Picture
​Experience the healing power of hatha yoga! Enjoy a strong, well-balanced flow to keep your body healthy and your mind focused. The practice starts with hip opening lunges before building intensity with various sun salutation styles. It continues with standing pose flows that integrate shoulder opening. Physically, sweat expels toxins and re-energizes your body. Mentally, the synchronized breathing relaxes your mind and helps to release any blockage of energy flow throughout your body. If you like to focus on the power of breathing and flowing movement through poses, you will enjoy the Hatha flow.
