Hatha Basics

About this event

This class is about the basics of yoga – an initial instruction in asana (physical practice) and a way to review basic principles of alignment. The emphasis on proper alignment is to ensure that the most benefit is derived from the pose while minimizing any risk of injury. Props, including blankets, blocks and straps, are incorporated as necessary to achieve alignment. Breath awareness is emphasized to maintain mindfulness during Hatha Basics. Poses are held longer so that students may begin to experience them from the inside out. Hatha Basics combines asana, meditation and pranayama. Non-intrusive meditative music is often utilized.
