Hatha Yoga

 Hatha Yoga is a five-thousand-year-old practice designed to restore body imbalances and maintain health. It is just one of eight branches in yogic philosophy. Hatha means sun and moon, or merging and effort, while yoga means yoke, union and integration. By “yoking” or focusing your attention through applied effort of pranayama (breath control), meditation (mindfulness relaxation) and exercise (postures), you will develop a balanced and healthy mind-body connection.

Hatha Yoga is a noncompetitive form of exercise. Therefore, it’s important to focus on your own practice in group settings and trust your inner guidance on how deep to stretch or if you need a modification. If there are any asanas (postures) that are uncomfortable or awkward, please ask for assistance. There are adaptions and modifications for all postures, so everyone can perform a variation and receive the benefit of yoga.  

Dahlia  blends a combination of vinyasa (linking postures together with  movement and breath) and Iyengar (emphasis on technical alignment using props and  modifications) to create a class of alignment and flow.   Each class includes a warm up, core poses and a cool down followed by a long savasana (deep relaxation).
