Hatha Vinyasa Yoga is a beautiful combination of two different disciplines. Vinyasa, meaning “breath-synchronized movement” and Hatha, which represents the union of the sun (Ha) and the moon (Tha). Hatha Vinyasa yoga unifies opposing forces and brings together the body and mind through the force of determined strength and effort.
This yoga style includes vinyasas (a series of connected movements through breath), asanas (poses), pranayamas (conscious breathing), meditation, and relaxation. During a Hatha Vinyasa class, you will experience steady and flowing movements from pose to pose in a sequence synchronized with breath, often pausing to hold poses for various lengths of time. This practice builds strength and flexibility through movement, while the conscious rhythmic flow of the breath helps boost energy and health. The stillness during holding poses promotes a focused mind and mental calmness.
Are you wondering if Hatha Vinyasa yoga is the right style for you? If you want a more active and dynamic type of yoga that can help strengthen and improve flexibility through postures, stretches, and movements, then Hatha Vinyasa might be a good fit.
How to find our yoga spot on Manoel Island:
We will gather in front of Manoel Fort 15 min before the class starts. Upon passing through the security gate, you will encounter three roads. Take a right turn and follow the road along the right-hand side (next to the wall). It’s roughly an 8-minute walk to reach the spot.
