Hatha yoga provides techniques that prepare the body for the spiritual path via physical and breathing exercises. Through the practice of yoga, you will gain greater flexibility in your body and mind. Like any form of exercise, hatha yoga helps develop physical strength. Hatha yoga adds another dimension to this with a matching development in emotional strength that will help you handle the challenges of life with a balanced disposition. In this course, students will learn and practice yoga asana properly through challenge and refinement of your flexibility, strength, and balance as well as controlled breathing in a relaxed and modulated way in order to provide focus in the different postures. Students will be exposed to several yoga styles such as anusara, ashtanga, iyenger, and vinyasa flow, among others. After this class, the student will gain greater flexibility of body and mind and will have a wider knowledge of hatha yoga practice as the gateway to spiritual evolution.
