“Ha” (sun) and “tha” (moon) represent the balance of opposing yet complementary energies within the body and mind. “Ha” signifies the hot, active, masculine, solar energy, while “tha” signifies the cool, receptive, feminine, lunar energy. Hatha Yoga aims to unify these forces, promoting harmony, stability, and physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

It is a traditional practice that unites the mind and body through slow, deliberate physical poses and conscious breath control, often holding postures to deepen awareness.

This accessible yoga class begins with grounding and centering, with the option to set an intention for your practice. We gently bring attention to the breath, move into a soft warm-up, and then flow into a sequence of slowly performed yoga poses. The practice includes mindful breathing meditation and concludes with savasana (corpse pose) — learning and practicing the art of surrendering and letting go. At the end, there is an opportunity to reflect, ask questions, and/or share your experience.

This slow pace challenges strength and flexibility while welcoming a deep stretch, with an emphasis on mindfulness and relaxation. Regular practice supports physical, mental, and emotional health. It has been shown to increase flexibility, strength, and balance while reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. It also promotes better cardiovascular health, eases chronic pain, improves sleep, and boosts immune function.
