CLASSES + WORKSHOPS

 The Jung Center of Houston presents The Energetic Principles of Hatha Yoga. Develop or deepen your awareness of the subtle flow of Prana (energy) inherent to the practice of Hatha Yoga.

Alignment of the body in an asana (posture) is important, but gripping or forcing oneself into an asana compromises the flow of Prana. Therefore, achieving proper alignment requires the practitioner to have an awareness of this subtle flow, so that appropriate adjustments can be made while moving into, holding and moving out of an asana.

By allowing the inherent wisdom in the breath to be the guide rather than relying solely upon the mind, one becomes more of an "observer" in their yoga practice. Each individual will learn to apply this awareness and develop tools to release patterns and blocks in their physical and subtle bodies.
