About Hatha

Hatha yoga refers to any yoga practice that blends poses (“asanas”), with breathing techniques (“pranayamas”). It is thought of as the foundation of all yoga styles.

Hatha yoga involves poses that are straightforward, at a leisurely pace. It is a style of yoga that is recommended for beginners as it is a slower moving class and is considered a gentler form of yoga.

Hatha yoga encourages you to focus on relaxation, meditation and breathing. It is well known that mindfulness has practical benefits for your not only your mind but your body. Hatha yoga will help you to develop flexibility, balance and aims to reduce feelings of stress.

Melanie Schorr studied the Hatha yoga system through her mentor, Vijay Amar and participated in, and taught his classes in India at the Universal Yoga Centre in McLeod Ganj. She began a daily practice and attended classes daily as a result of wanting to further her own practice and to heal from her two serious accidents.
