Introduction to Hatha Yoga

Presented by Sabah Siddique

Join us for a beginner-friendly introduction to Hatha yoga, a tradition of yoga that aims to balance the energy of the body by uniting movement and breath.

The pace of this class is slow to moderate; we spend time in each pose to establish a safe foundation, to explore adaptations and variations, and to incorporate conscious breathing. The sequence will include a variety of seated, standing, and supine poses and will utilize props to support your experience in the poses. 

Some of the benefits of practicing yoga include:

• increased strength and flexibility in the body
• calm and stillness in the mind
• regulation of the nervous system
• connection to yourself and to others

This class is designed with beginners in mind and is open to all levels. No prior experience with yoga is needed.

Please bring a yoga mat or a towel to practice on, and please wear comfortable clothing.

Move, breathe, explore, and enjoy the healing benefits of yoga!
