Hatha Flow

Hatha flow: 1h 15min "Hatha" translates as "will power" and addresses our strong will to hold positions for longer. This not only trains your entire body, but also strengthens your mind and spirit. In our Hatha flow practice, we follow the traditional sequence of a yoga class, holding the postures for longer, but moving smoothly from one posture to the next. The movements are synchronized with the breathing. Sequence of the class:
