Susan Heather Ross is a certified yoga instructor with over 20 years experience in practicing and teaching yoga using the Indian “Eight Limbs of Yoga” philosophy and Hatha, Kundalini, and Vinyasa styles of yoga. She has traveled to several countries around the globe and experienced a variety of traditional and expansive yoga practices with master yogis and yoginis.
Hatha (sun/moon) yoga is practiced at a slow pace, with focus on the breath, controlled movements, and stretching. The word ‘hatha’ derives from the Sanskrit roots ‘ha’ (sun) and ‘tha’ (moon). Hatha yoga refers to the Yin/Yang aspects of existence; male and female, hot and cold, active and passive, light and dark, and the interplay of both throughout the cosmos and within us.
Vinyasa Flow yoga is a more modern practice that incorporates many of the aspects of Hatha yoga and is a fast-paced energetic practice using “Sun Salutation” sequences along with standing and balancing asanas (postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques), and mudras (hand gestures).
This Hatha Vinyasa Flow sequence focuses on proper body alignment, expansive breathing techniques, and an introduction to the many facets of yoga which includes the Eight Limbs of Yoga philosophy.
If you’ve never done yoga before and want to begin with a more gentle practice that will help you feel relaxed and more balanced then this is the class for you. If you have done yoga before, you will also benefit greatly from this practice.
Wear comfortable clothes, have water or another light drink handy, use a yoga mat if possible, and have a small cushion available if you have any physical limitations or issues.
