Hatha yoga was created as a total life philosophy that incorporated how we relate to our world, to ourselves and how we can attain inner peace. The Sanskrit word ha means “sun” and tha means “moon,” and thus hatha, or literally sun-moon yoga, strives to balance opposing parts of the physical body, the front and back, left and right, top and bottom, balancing our masculine (pingala) and feminine(Ida) nadis to achieve inner peace and happiness. With this goal of bringing about a sound, healthy body and a clear, peaceful mind. In this course we will see a wide hatha yoga postures, which work to make the spine supple and to promote circulation in all the organs, glands, and tissues. Hatha yoga postures also stretch and align the body, promoting balance and flexibility.

Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, vigorous style of yoga that finds its origins in an ancient book known as the “Yoga Korunta,” It’s a truly beautiful style of yoga, it is extensive, highly challenging and even mesmerizing. Ashtanga yoga is different in the sense that the postures are set. We do the exact same sequence each time we practice. Then we advance to the next series after we’ve mastered the first. In fact, there are a total of six series in Ashtanga — the first (or primary) series, the second (or intermediate) series and then four advanced series that follow. In the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, breath (Ujjayi breathing) is united with flowing movement and the attention to gazing points (Dristi) to create a meditative and purifying style of yoga. When practiced for a long and continuous duration, physical and mental afflictions dissolve, vibrant health and Self-awareness arise.
