Hatha Yoga

When you see Hatha Yoga, as a class description at Green Room Yoga it indicates there will be a more traditional approach to asana practice, with less flow between poses and more concentrated time spent on each pose. Stillness between poses helps the ‘tha’ (moon) part of ‘Hatha’ integrate more deeply. Classes are responsive to the student’s needs. There is clear cueing, with attention to alignment and breath. Sometimes the poses work toward building strength and heat, sometimes they are intentionally cooling. Some teachers may include Mantras (words or sounds to aid meditation) in their classes in order to acknowledge the indigenous wisdom of India and evoke the variety of techniques that yoga encompasses. Expect full physicality, presence, ease, and deep relaxation. These classes are suitable for beginner, intermediate, or advanced practitioners alike.
