"The whole purpose of Hatha yoga is to purify and control our senses. It is the ultimate science of helping us discover what lies behind the apparent reality of body and mind." - Pattabhi Jois

This course is open to students who have already practiced Ashtanga Yoga for at least one term or who have a very solid base of yoga postures from any other hatha yoga system.

The physical and respiratory practices are dynamic. This course is a Mysore-style class which means that each student knows and practices the sequence of postures at his/her own rhythm. This gives more freedom to the student and also frees the teacher to circulate throughout the room and take the time to give specific hands-on adjustments.

As the course lasts 2 hours, there is time for pranayama, meditation and relaxation.
