Hatha Yoga, a mind/body practice, is an invigorating, non-competitive exercise program for men and women. Every class works on developing strength, flexibility, balance, and concentration and emphasizes body alignment, spinal extension, muscular balance, and the subtleties of the breath. Physical and mental relaxation, increased energy, and enhancement of one’s overall health are some of the many benefits.
