It is very versatile and it can move from a very simple, stretching series of postures to more advanced and challenging ones. All internal organs and glands are stimulated, balancing the body’s natural chemical and hormonal levels. |
Hatha Flow is a yoga class that builds strength and stamina. It is a fast paced flowing asana practice that emphasizes a sequence of movements synchronized with breath and eye focus. |

Yin yoga gently stretches and rehabilitate the connective tissue that forms our joints. The fundamental characteristic of Yin Yoga is holding the poses for several minutes because connective tissue doesn't respond to brief, rhythmical stretches the way muscles do. It utilizes lots of forward bends and seating postures and it includes breathing techniques. The yoga postures can be modified to suit balance-challenged people with a restricted range of motion, arthritis or osteoporosis. |
Meditation and relaxation exercises are also conducted. |
