Service Description

The Hatha classes at Zokawa focus on alignment and are inspired by Iyengar traditions. They are not, however, true Iyengar classes. We generally have a peak pose that we are working toward, so the movements and activities leading up to that peak pose are designed to prepare the body for the specific requirements of that pose. For example, for Warrior 2 pose, we would work on external rotation of the hips, hamstring flexibility, quad strength). In all Hatha classes, there is an emphasis on observing what happens after the pose has been created.  Level 1 Hatha is for beginners or yogis interested in learning more about alignment, endurance, and effort/ease balance. Accessible to all levels. *AHA  Level 2 Hatha is for yogis interested in learning and practicing inversions and doing more strenuous poses. Requires some yoga knowledge and experience.
