Hatha Focus

Wednesday evenings at 6:00 - 7:25 pm

Price: regular drop-in rate or class card

Hatha Focus is a strong vinyasa flow class, which weekly focuses on a specific theme related to the practice and experience of Hatha Yoga. Each week will emphasize either a series of related postures, a particular body part, or a philosophical yogic theory.

Each week I will pick a different theme such as hip opening, arm balancing, back bending, fore arm stands, the eight limbs of yoga, shoulder opening, and more. The class will be structured to slowly warm our bodies before we move into the strong flow of the sun salutations in order to build heat and energy throughout the body. After building internal heat (tapas), we will then move to explore the focus of the week.

While strong vinyasa practice can feel great and satisfying, my hope is that a central focus will aid us in deepening our understanding of different aspects of the yogic practice allowing us to open our bodies, move with grace, and enjoy the beauty of yoga. As Rumi once wrote, "Let the beauty we love be what we do."

If you have any suggestions regarding body areas to focus on, please leave a note with the front desk or email me at burkmanyoga@gmail.com.
