Yoga & Dance—
 

Hatha Yoga

Experience an approach to yoga that is both fluid (range of motion) and structured (strengthening). Layered learning allows students to build stamina over time. Options are offered for different levels of difficulty to help people learn the poses from the inside out and know how to “work” each pose.

In addition to fitness, yoga teaches us to move with confidence and skill, to listen to ourselves better, to slow down, and to balance our thought processes and emotions. 

​

Classes integrate the following dimensions of yoga:
• alignment-based yoga, to protect the joints and cultivate steadiness
• mindful awareness rather than rote imitation
• breathing techniques to deepen relaxation
• how to move with ease into and out of poses​ without injury

• how to modify poses

• deep states of rest
