Yoga is the process of reducing fluctuations in the mind. Although its emergence dates back thousands of years, yoga has truly evolved with the modern world, giving us a model to unite energy from our physical, mental, and spiritual elements.

While many mistake yoga for a religion, it is actually just a very old philosophy. Hatha yoga is a recent branch of physical practice within a structured sequence of postures (asanas) to alleviate energy blockages and assist in the fluent flow of energy. Prevalent examples of hatha yoga include vinyasa flow, hot, yin restorative, and ashtanga.

What should i bring to class?

Bring a yoga mat, some water, and your body! We’ll take care of any other equipment. It’s always a good idea to arrive on an empty stomach because exercise on a full stomach is fun for no one.
