Classical Hatha Yoga is traditional, slow paced but still very powerful practice that will calm your mind and will increase flexibility, strength and vitality of your body. During the class we will be following the method of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh in Northern India –  one of the most known and inspiring yoga teachers of all times.  Asanas (poses) during the class are performed in suggested order that helps to open energy channels within the body and stimulate the inner organs, starting by the Crown Chakra (Sahastrara) and finishing by the Root Chakra (Muladhara).

Hope to see you during the practice! Asia Jokiel
