What is Yoga?

Yoga is an age-old art, science, philosophy and discipline. The Yoga tradition encourages one to live their lives responsibly and with devotion to the divine (whatever that means to you). Yoga is not a religion but it can help you deepen any spiritual path you may be on. Yoga does not require you to have a spiritual path. Yoga asks you to live with awareness, integrity, and compassion for all creation.

What is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha (ha-ta) Yoga asks that we commit to a daily practice that involves ethical behavior, physical postures, breathing exercises and other practices (8 limbs of Yoga). The physical postures of Hatha Yoga helps us to observe, explore, balance, and integrate the body/mind with the breath. Through the practice of the physical postures health is restored and maintained, the emotions are stabilized and the mind becomes more peaceful.

In Yoga, you start from where you are and go from there.
