Hatha Yoga With Dwayne (Online)

• Hatha Yoga Classes - Class Announcement Coming Soon!

We practice a very traditional form of breath based Hatha Yoga. A style that is experienced through the combination of breath and movement. Through the internalization experience, we are allowed to move into the ideal shape of yourself. Finding yourself within yourself by following your breath, or allowing your breath to direct you. This form of practice is very different than what is currently being taught in most places.

Hatha Yoga is about balancing the polarities. Of balancing the opposites that we have in life. Developing balance in our life. Recognizing the Ha Tha in Hatha … ‘Ha’ represents the sun, ‘Tha’ represents the moon, so Hatha is the union of the sun and the moon. Giving and receiving. Dynamic and static. Strength and receptivity. Heating and cooling. by bringing the opposite polarities into alignment we balance the experience and we find balance in our lives.

The importance of the breath - In this practice we use the breath to establish the posture. The breath guides our movement. Each asana posture that we enter we do series of dynamic postures to establish the posture within the breath, then we perform the posture statically by holding the posture for a series of breaths. This allows us to establish the posture details and to reflect deeper within.

Within a Hatha Yoga class you will experience both active and passive postures. The active are the heating elements ‘Ha’ and the passive are the cooling elements ‘Tha’. This is also relative to the Taoist teachings of Yang and Yin.
