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.
