The Basics: Yoga Workshop

https://www.thehypewellnessgroup.org/

This workshop is for the yogi who wants to enter the world of Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga focuses on the traditional asana or pose and how we unite the breath and body.

In this workshop you will learn.

1. Breath Awareness (Foundation of Practice) Students will learn basic breathing techniques, especially how to connect breath with movement. Introducing concepts like diaphragmatic breathing and simple forms of Pranayama that helps them regulate energy, reduce stress, and stay present.

4. Body Awareness & Listening Skills Students will learn how to recognize the difference between discomfort and pain, and how to adjust accordingly.
