Hata Yoga

A 2-3 day residential program at our centers, is an opportunity to learn Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) along with a series of asanas (yoga postures). The program does not require any previous experience in yoga, nor particular physical agility. Participants need not have gone through any previous Isha Programs. In this one-time program, the postures are imparted in depth, enabling you to continue to practice them at home. Isha Hata Yoga is far beyond being a mere physical exercise, or simply bending the body. This comprehensive set of asanas is scientifically designed in such a way that through regular practice, one can attain to a certain mastery over body and mind. Isha Hata Yoga not only improves health and well-being, but also brings the necessary balance within oneself to experience higher levels of energy. As a preparatory step for other Isha Yoga practices, it significantly enhances the experience of kriyas and meditation.
