Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga is an ancient art and science which seeks to integrate physical postures (known as asanas , breath awareness (or pranayama ), and relaxation techniques to encourage self-exploration and awareness.

The physical benefits of Hatha Yoga include increased flexibility, strength, and balance. Coordination improves and your breath deepens.

Through a regular yoga practice, the student begins to enhance focus, concentration, and the ability to manage life's stressors. It also allows the student to begin to explore habitual "holding patterns", which may be physical, emotional, or non-productive thought patterns.

This class is appropriate for individuals new to yoga, as well as those with yoga experience. Emphasis is on the "function" or benefits of a pose rather that forcing the body into a perfected "form". It is geared toward meeting the student where he or she is at in the moment, and intelligently and gently expanding from there. Diana blends viniyoga and yin yoga approaches along with non-dogmatic, gentle psycho-spiritual self-inquiry to create a unique class experience.
