The word YOGA means to Yoke or Join and the word HATHA literally means Sun/Moon or Balance. The practice of Hatha Yoga (balanced joining) is a physical practice and is the joining of breath with movement to balance to body, mind and spirit. When well-aligned movement is connected to complete breath we are able to quiet our mind, heal our body and create peace and wholeness in our being.

Whether you are drawn to yoga for its physical benefits, to relieve stress or calm the mind, you will benefit in countless ways and find that the practice of hatha yoga is truly transformative! This is true regardless of what type of yoga or how many days a week you practice although you will find the more that you practice the deeper and more profound the changes in your physical and emotional being you will experience! Here are just a few of the many benefits that yoga can bring to your life:

Brings balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit
Improved posture, flexibility and energy
Calms the mind
Strengthens and tones muscles
Increases circulation; slows heart rate; lowers blood pressure
Can help reduce weight, stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia

Choose a time that is convenient for you and make yoga a regular part of your life! All of our instructors here at Namaste have formal training and a comprehensive knowledge of yoga; though teaching styles vary just as personalities do.
