Suitable for students with prior yoga experience and a sound body.We recommend that you have prior Yoga experience to taking this class and recommend the Hatha Yoga Beginners course if you are a beginner.*If you have a current injury,pain or health condition we highly recommend that you attend an initial consultation and join either our "Yoga Therapeutics " "Pilates Movement Therapy" class courses or individualised Yoga Therapy or Pilates & GYROTONIC® studio sessions.
This is a Vinyasa style Yoga class based on Hatha Yoga and adds a mindful approach to flowing Yoga.
Flow Yoga classes are designed to allow you to improve your alignment, while building strength, increasing flexibility and improving stamina. Longer holds and slow transitions offer the opportunity to increase your understanding of the body in each pose and more time spent working on each pose will allow you to deepen and improve your personal practice.
The class includes Sun Saluations, standing, prone, supine, arm strengthening and seated postures then ends with a guided relaxation.
Why do we heat the Yoga Room at HARA for some classes during the cooler months?
At Hara we use Far Infrared Heaters.
The HARA YOGA flow sequence is practised in a room warmed to the comfortable temperature of a late spring day @28 degrees in order to support the natural building of warmth within the physical body. However we don't believe that practicing in a heated room during summer and hot days is healthy nor balancing so we only offer heated rooms on cooler days/months of the year:)

GYROKINESIS® exercise works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement.

Fluidity and ease is the key.
