WHAT IS HATHA FLOW YOGA?

Hatha Yoga is a gentle practice to help nourish, love and accept our bodies, to listen to them and discover how to promote and sustain our health.

Each class is designed to tone and strengthen the body, to release physical and mental tension and develop concentration, self-awareness and harmony within. Students are encouraged to move gently and slowly, co-ordinating the breath and the movement which brings them towards stillness and peace.

It is a practice that begins from wherever that may be for each person.  There is no call for over-exertion, straining the body or competing with others. Everyone is welcome, just as they are.
