Mindful Flow
Hatha Yoga
Mindful Flow Hatha Yoga .......

is a physical, active, playful practice designed to bring the student into a greater level of
physical, mental and spiritual awareness.

This 1.5 hour practice is designed to work on physical and mental discipline. This practice
consists of an ever changing sequence of asanas or poses that are designed to develop
breath control, flexibility, concentration, strength and stamina. All muscle groups of the body
are actively engaged during this practice. Slow flowing sequences of poses or vinyasas are
introduced seasonally. Other asana are held for longer periods of time enabling the student
to  develop  a greater awareness of alignment and detail.

You can expect a joyous, fun, noncompetive environment where you can develop a yoga
practice that is truly YOURS but is facilitated by an experienced master yoga teacher.

Breathwork (Pranayama) is the foundation of this practice.

    Classes contain all or some of the following elements:

  • Breathwork and Breath Guidance
  • Standing Strength
  • Standing Balance
  • Arm Balances
  • Twists
  • Backbends
  • Inversions
  • Vinyasa Flows
  • Surya/Chandra Namaskara
  • Qigong Flows
  • Restoration, Relaxation, Rejuvenation
  • Dharma or Teachings that provide tools for life

Each class has a slightly different focus and no 2 practices are ever exactly alike. Several
poses are repeated over weeks or months giving the student an opportunity to expand their
awareness of certain poses and delve deeper into their practice.

1. Tantra
