HATHA FLOW
Where Action Meets Surrender
In the tradition of Hatha Yoga, there is a point of delicate, sweet inner balance: where Abhyasa (consistent, focused effort) meets Vairagya (inner liberation and surrender).
Hatha Flow is designed to guide you to precisely this balance. In this class, our intention is to cultivate, through the traditional techniques of Hatha Yoga, gentle movement flows in sync with the breath, which will enable us to connect with our bodies and our entire being in a new way. With gentleness combined with strength, with care combined with effort, with an open presence in the now and constant awareness.
Hatha Flow combines the traditional alignment of Hatha Yoga with the natural fluidity of mindful movement. We create gentle sequences of poses (flows) that give us time to connect with our breath, feel our body, align ourselves, and build inner and outer strength.
It is a grounding practice that “clears” the mind and body of the day’s information overload.
It is a unifying practice that balances both external and internal contrasts and imbalances.
