Hatha Yoga is more than just physical exercise. It is a balanced approach to the integration of body, mind, heart, and spirit, and seeks to create deeper levels of physical health and vitality, relaxation, awareness and well being.

- Breathe fully, evenly and smoothly throughout each posture
- During menstruation, women should not practice inversions or deep backbends.
- We request pregnant women consult their health care practitioner and talk with the instructor privately to determine the best approach to their practice.
