Hatha Yoga is “the yoga of postures.” Each yoga practice consists of a flowing sequence of postures designed to warm and strengthen the body. Benefits of regular yoga practice include Increased flexibility, stamina and muscular strength. Regular practice promotes a healthy metabolism, supple spine, and enhances mental clarity. Organ, digestive, and circulatory function may be improved through regular yoga practice. Promoting a mind-body connection through breath awareness and control, yoga can be used to reduce symptoms and sensations of anxiety. Physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellness are fostered through regular yoga practice, enhancing the capacity for stress management.
