Hatha Foundations Yoga

Description

Build a deeper understanding of your yoga practice through a slower-paced, methodical approach that focuses on alignment, awareness, and mindful movement. In this class, we’ll spend time exploring reclined, seated, and standing postures while holding each shape for several breaths. This pace allows you to understand the mechanics of each pose, refine your alignment, develop breath control, and build a stronger mind-body connection. Hatha Foundations is designed for all levels. For those new to yoga, the class provides a supportive environment to learn foundational postures, understand how to safely move into and out of poses, develop confidence in your practice, and have more opportunities for questions and hands-on guidance. For experienced yogis, it offers the opportunity to refine your practice by exploring more specific alignment details, effective use of props, modifications, and advanced variations. The deeper awareness and precision can help elevate your practice and bring greater intention into any style of yoga you explore. While the pace is slower, this is not a passive class. Through mindful holds and intentional transitions, you’ll build strength, flexibility, stability, and body awareness while continuing to cultivate essential yogic principles of breath, focus, and presence. All levels welcome. No prior arm balance experience necessary. Facilitated by: Kara Hoke
