Hurry, worry, press, stress...does this sound like your life?  It's time to quiet down and just be while strengthening and balancing your body.  The practice of Hatha Yoga can help you recognize your hidden physical and mental potentials.  Through the continued performance of asanas (postures) you will gain flexibility, strength, stamina and learn how to be more relaxed while in stressful situations.  Hatha Yoga's relaxation exercises will open your energy channels allowing spiritual energy to flow freely.  Some Hatha poses also massage and tone your internal organs, helping to prevent diseases including diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension.  The poses also bring balance to internal and glandular functions.  Pranayama (yoga breathing), brings more oxygen into the blood and brain and goes hand in hand with the asanas.  The union of these two yogic principles is considered the highest form of purification and self-discipline, covering mind and body.
