What
is Hatha Flow?
Hatha Flow links the postures practiced in a regular Hatha class into
a sequence of movements that "flow" with the breath in a more vigorous
series. Hatha Flow involves moving from one posture to another with
very little rest in between and creates a strong cardiovascular workout.
Variations on the Sun Salutation are often used as a warm-up, followed
by a standing sequence, balancing poses, and then seated poses. As
in all Hatha classes, relaxation (savasana) ends the class.
Hatha Flow is recommended for students who have practiced Hatha Yoga
and are interested in exploring a more movement-oriented class. Hatha
Flow builds strength, endurance, and a strong focus. The classroom
is not heated, but the physical practice will naturally build heat
in the body.
Who Can Practice Hatha Flow?
Hatha Flow classes are best suited for students who:
- Have
practiced Hatha Yoga for at least one month
- Are
familiar with Sun Salutations
- Have
practiced inversion postures (such as headstand or shoulder stand)
or are willing to try inversions
- Seek
a stronger physical workout in their yoga practice

Candlelight
Flow
Candlelight
Flow is a hatha flow practice led in a room softly lit by candlelight
and accompanied by music. This practice emphasizes meditative, breath-led
movement and encourages a strong inward focus. The practice ends
with time for restorative yoga, soothing postures held for longer
periods of time and finally an extended final relaxation, leaving
you balanced, relaxed and ready for a good night’s sleep.
