Hatha Yoga
Yoga postures affect every part of the body, stretching and toning muscles, joints, the spine, and the entire skeletal system. All the vital organs and glands are affected by the postures which stimulate and massage them. The whole body is benefited by yoga postures and the deep breathing which is done with them.
In Hatha Yoga your breathing is deepened and synchronized with the postures. The synchronized deep breathing allows you to relax into the poses. The poses themselves will only evolve into their intended form as your breathing deepens and your muscles begin to naturally relax. This breathing effect is what makes Hatha Yoga distinctive from other forms of exercise. Tension and tightness is released while in the pose or during the exercise, therefore the postures will not leave you feeling fatigued or over exerted after your workout.
A Hatha yoga posture is called an Asana. There are three stages to each Asana, coming into the pose, holding the pose, and coming out of the pose. Every action in Yoga is intentional. You need to stay mindful, listen to your body and work within your body's comfort zone. Straining does not strengthen and with pain there is no gain!! Use your breath as a guide - If you cannot breathe smoothly & deeply, you may be working too hard or at risk of injuring yourself. Safe, comfortable stretching and appropriate effort usually deepens the breath.
Hatha Yoga unifies mind, body and spirit, bringing you to new heights of physical and mental well-being!
