What is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha Yoga is the most widely practiced form of yoga in the world. Hatha Yoga uses postures (asana) and conscious breathing (Pranayama) in combination with mental focus to develop awareness, strength and flexibility, and relaxation. Through proper alignment and mindful actions of the body, Hatha Yoga brings balance, strength, and a sense of well-being to the practitioner.

Hatha Flow uses movement and breath together to produce a "flow" of postures that lead from one to the next. For more information on Hatha Flow, click here.


"When I practice Hatha Yoga it is a special time for me to be with myself. The world is so loud and crazy and yoga is a place where I find peace, along with the strength to handle what is happening in our world." -Ryan

"Hatha allows me to explore the relationship between my breath, my mind, and my heart. Sometimes those relationships get muddled and within the peace and quite of my practice I am able to find those connections and find that I’m a better person for doing so." -Christon

"Hatha Yoga is wonderful for the mind and body. Hatha Yoga has shown me that I can make positive changes in my life. I find that I am deep breathing when stressed and I have better posture. I would encourage new students to try as many teachers as possible as selection is a personal thing." -James
