Yoga

What is Yoga?
The word yoga derived from the Sanskrit word "yug" means to yoke or bind and is often interpreted as "union" or a method of dicipline.

What does Hatha mean?
The word Hatha means willful or forceful. Hatha Yoga refers to a set of physical exercises, known as asanas or postures. The asanas are then put into sequences designed to align your skin, muscles and bones. Hatha Yoga is a powerful tool for self transformation. It asks us to bring our attention to our breath, which helps us to still the fluctuations of the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment.
