What is Hatha Yoga?
Hatha Yoga is a 5000 year old system
of personal development for body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga practice includes asanas (postures), pranayama
(breathing), relaxation, and meditation, as well as
healthy diet and ethical guidelines. In the private
yoga classes at South Hills Yoga, you will practice
effective techniques for stretching, strengthening,
breathing, and relaxation, for complete rejuvenation
of body, mind, and spirit. Luna's yoga classes support
the individual needs and aims of each student, making
yoga accessible, personal, and enjoyable. Everyone is
welcome!
Why Practice Yoga?
Stress is prevalent in our modern society,
and the cause of 85% of all disease. Yoga is a guaranteed
solution for stress reduction. Yoga reduces stress through
the "relaxation response," calming the mind
and lowering blood pressure. Yoga is safe and gentle
for all age groups and all levels of physical ability.
Yoga also provides all the benefits of exercise, including
increased muscle and bone strength, decreased body fat
and weight loss, and enhanced psychological well-being.
