Begin yoga with classes which highlight Hatha yoga,

translated from ancient Sanskrit to mean “ha” sun and “tha” moon.

So why is this a kind of yoga? This is the combination of opposites. We unite the breath (pranayama) and the body movements (asana) to move obstacles from our lives – both physically and mentally. This is a great place to begin the yoga journey. 

Beginning Yoga

Every person is a piece of art. Each body is different. Each is beautiful in its own right.

This follows through into the practice of yoga. What is so incredible about this practice is that we all start from a place of effort in strengthening the body. There is no square one. There is no end goal. Each person is able to begin yoga wherever he or she happens to be. You may have been injured recently, or sick. You may not have exercised in a month or a few years. You may not have taken note of your breath since you were a child. Wherever you may be in life, you can practice yoga to develop into whatever your body craves. Hatha yoga allows you to listen to your body. You do not need to move too quickly, or feel frustrated. Wherever you are is beautiful.

Hatha is an ancient physical practice where practitioners aim to hold postures for a minimum of 120 seconds. The belief is that this digs deeply into the fascia of the muscle and transforms the body. Breath-work and the ability to focus the mind are also a big part of the Hatha path. You will learn to flow into alignment with Nervarah’s patented 8 step approach,

Come start the fire in your belly and build your heat.

The more you practice yoga, the more in sync your body and breath will become. This will allow for the nervous system to relax, and the body to be more efficient in movements.

This class will bring you closer to the practice. you will be given options for your body. You will learn to become in touch with your body and your breath. This mind-body connection will help you to ward off germs, emotional breaks, and even increase your ability to be more productive in the rest of life. 

Energizing Yoga 

8 days to build a foundation for your practice

"Little darling the smile is returning to the faces.... it seems like years since it's been here... Here comes the sun, and I say it's all right."

George Harrison’s words are wise let us listen to him and wake up well with the sun in the power of unity with yoga! We will listen, grow, and play together as we get to experience one of nature's most fabulous expressions of light and love - sunrise.

Yoga is an experience for you. Yoga is about taking some time for yourself to just breathe, relax, and let go. Along the way we can build up the strength in our bodies, release tension from our joints, and our places of stress. Each class is specifically designed for whoever walks into the studio that day. Yoga should allow for people who are wherever they are in their practice to just be present, happy, and supported by the community who loves them.
