Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (known as asanas or postures), and sequences of asanas, designed to align your skin, muscles, and bones. The postures are also designed to open the many channels of the body—especially the main channel, the spine—so that energy can flow freely.

FAQs for Yoga
Yes! You are a perfect candidate for yoga. Many people think that they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that’s a little bit like thinking that you need to be able to play football in order to take football lessons. Come as you are and you will find that yoga practice will help you become more flexible.
The first principle of yoga philosophy is ahimsa, which means non-harming to self and others. Some people interpret this to include not eating animal products which is not the case.
It is a personal decision that everyone has to make for themselves. If you are considering becoming a vegetarian, be sure to take into account your personal health issues as well how your choices will affect those with whom you live.
Some yoga classes and styles do not include a meditative practice. Some do. You can ask the yoga teacher before attending a class if meditation is included in the class.
You can do yoga! Find a 4-8 week course, or consider signing up for a few private classes to help get your practice started.
Yoga is amazing—even if you only practice for one hour a week, you will experience the benefits of the practice. If you can do more than that, you will certainly experience more benefits. I suggest starting with two or three times a week, for an hour each time. If you can only do 20 minutes per session, that’s fine too. Don’t let time constraints or unrealistic goals be an obstacle—do what you can and don’t worry about it. You will likely find that after a while your desire to practice expands naturally and you will find yourself doing more and more.
When you start to begin your yoga practice, finding a good teacher will help you avoid mistakes and keep you safe. However, practicing yoga with an online program like is also a great way to practice.
Yes, you can practice yoga at any weight, size, and fitness level. A good yoga instructor can help you adjust poses and positions to accommodate your body type and shape.
Yes, yoga can help you lose weight. The gentle postures coupled with mindful breathing help to detoxify the body, cleanse the digestive tract, and decrease anxiety and stress. Stress is one of the biggest culprits behind weight gain. Yoga can help reduce your stress as well as provide a gentle form of exercise that can strengthen the body and tone your muscles.
Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy that began in India an estimated 5,000 years ago. Yoga sometimes interweaves other philosophies such as Hinduism or Buddhism, but it is not necessary to study those paths in order to practice or study yoga.
It is definitely not required to surrender your own religious beliefs to practice yoga.
In yoga practice we twist from side to side, turn upside down, and bend forward and backward. You can experiment with a light snack such as yogurt, a few nuts, or juice about 30 minutes to an hour before class. But avoid any heavy meals at least an hour before the class.
Regularity is key. Know that even practicing just once a week will give you the benefits of the practice. If time is an issue, don’t shy away. Do what you can.

Basic Principles of Meditation
When you learn meditation, you will quickly learn the key principles. With the goal to stay in the present moment, you will also learn about the importance of deep breaths with diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing), noticing and then letting go of negative emotions and sometimes focusing on a meditation object (such as breathing exercises, your thoughts, a mantra, an object or a part of your body).
Meditation practice is designed to be an intensive practice of calming the mind so that you can experience better mental health and clarity in your day to day life. Although not entirely necessary, it is encouraged to start a daily practice of meditation if you want to experience the benefits.

Commonly Asked Questions for Meditation Practices
If you want to receive the benefits of meditation, having a daily practice will contribute significantly to this. We know you have a busy life, but incorporating meditation into your daily life can look like meditating in bed, on your commute to work, as you walk down the street, or as you lay down and prepare to sleep.
Committing to a regular meditation routine, at a set time per day will help you to concretize the practice.
Start with one minute, and watch your practice grow. A few minutes is better than no minutes. Some meditation challenges will start with a baseline of one to two minutes per day and then add one extra minute each following day or week so that you slowly build up a healthy meditation practice.
