This Hatha Rise and Flow class is suitable for individuals from teens to golden years who have familiarity with beginner to intermediate asana.

Content

Awaken and ease into your day by setting a tone for success with a therapeutically informed, multilevel Hatha flow. This breath-focused, dynamic expression of Integral Yoga Hatha includes:

• Pranayama (breathwork)

• Joint warm-ups

• Gentle yet firm activation of the body

Meditation and movement become one as you cultivate a deep, balanced steadiness of being.

Purpose

Build resilience for an active life by embracing Sattvic consciousness through body and breath. This practice transforms the body-mind into a state of balance, mindfully creating and growing tangible resilience that reverberates throughout the koshas—from the heart of the physical body, managing its needs, to the innermost state of effortless consciousness and beyond.

Props

Please place any blocks, cushions, bolsters, or blankets within arm’s reach of your mat. We may use any or all of these during class.

Preparation

This class is best experienced:

• Slightly hydrated

• On an empty stomach

• With readiness to move between active and static physical states

• With a willingness to turn inward and allow the mind-stuff to fall away

I will log into the classroom five to ten minutes early. If you have any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them during that time or at the end of class. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Asana, or alignment within the physical body, can be the beginning or the final key to transforming our being, facilitating an evolution of consciousness, satisfying a goal, creating a sense of peace in the body, or simply scratching an itch. Let’s find out what it is for you in this asana-focused private that will help deepen your practice.
