Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga can be described in many ways. Hatha Yoga always involves poses (asanas). There are many styles of Hatha Yoga.


Ease of Being offers Gentle Hatha Yoga which is also appropriate for beginners, intermediate Hatha yoga classes and adaptive Hatha yoga classes.

All Ease of Being Hatha Yoga Classes include some inquiry into how our bodies, breath, feelings, emotions, thoughts and conditioning intertwine and effect the whole of our being. The beauty of this type of practice is that when we recognize how one aspect of our being effects another and we learn to simply observe without judgement or rejection, we begin to see through our conditioning and find we no longer get caught in the beliefs and conditioning that once kept us from feeling peaceful, content, and whole. We find that we have greater energy and creativity as we no longer channel our thoughts and energy into 

past misperceptions.


Of course, Hatha Yoga will always support a stronger, more flexible and balanced body. Most everyone finds that aches and pains begin to lessen or completely go away. Many people state that they sleep better, breathe better, and are more relaxed with a regular Hatha Yoga practice.
