What can hatha yoga do for you? Authentic hatha yoga, taught in an easy, natural way, is an excellent system for achieving well being, radiant health, longevity and peace of mind. Hatha yoga postures are also an aid to spiritual growth.
In the western world, however, it’s not always easy to find genuine hatha yoga. Too often, changes and embellishments have been made which obscure — or even block — many of the posture’s benefits. We invite you to do the poses along with us in order to experience the intended benefits of yoga.
Yoga is the harmony of body, mind and inner self. In hatha yoga postures we seek to discover equilibrium by releasing tension from the body and turbulence from the mind. We involve the mind by focusing on the movements and stillness of the poses. Holding and relaxing in each posture for at least 30 seconds allows one to receive the full benefit. By consciously coming out of each pose and pausing for a moment, we are able to sense the vitality and well being which come as tension is released.
It is important never to strain while doing hatha yoga. Straining creates more tension. When you encounter tension, stop and mentally fill the area with an awareness of space and light. Relax and progressively let go, extending your comfort. End your routine with savasana (the corpse pose) as you scan and allow your entire body to relax.
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
