Hatha Yoga

A classical style of class, traditional postures, and techniques used to take your practice to a deeper level. Each class will target a specfic area of the body we will work hard using props and pushing our own limitations. This class will be challenging mentally and physically, however the results will be worth it.

 Intensity levels in a Hatha Flow class range from low to more intense depending on the teacher’s intention for the day, their teaching style (eg some teach with more flowing elements whilst some prioritise more static postures), as well as your level of general fitness.

A typical Hatha Flow class will generally include:

• gentler elements - eg warm up exercises, gentle breath practices, meditation, etc
• medium intensity elements - eg postures that flow one to another, standing postures, seated postures, etc
• higher intensity elements - balancing postures, postures that focus on core strength, longer held postures for general strength development, kriyā (practices that combine breath with vigorous movement)

Students always have the option to rest (eg sit out a pose) from time to time if needed.

Our teachers will also always offer variations within postures to suit your level of development and fitness so that beginners as well as more advanced practitioners benefit equally from each class.

Hatha Flow is suitable for practically all levels of fitness and flexibility. If you can move your body you can practice yoga. But if unsure, always consult your health professional, especially if you have underlying health concerns or conditions.

Students of Yin Yoga will need:

• A yoga mat (bring your own or hire one at the studio)
• A water bottle (not essential but handy if you get thirsty)
• Appropriate yoga clothes (something you can sweat and stretch in).

Studio access is available from 15 minutes prior to the start of each scheduled classstarts. We suggest arriving at least 5-10 minutes prior to scheduled class time.
