We will dive into the roots of classic hatha raja yoga, incorporating physical postures, meditation, breathwork, deep relaxation and chanting into each class. This class is inspired by Gena's time in New York City studying with yoga master, Sri Dharma Mittra. Dharma opened the first independent yoga studio in the US in 1975 and his teachings are centered around ahimsa, or non-harming. Class will be heart centered and devotional in practice. All levels welcome!
