Hatha Yoga is the Joining of Mind, Body and Spirit through physical postures called asanas.

From Deb:

"This is where I first learned to be in the present moment. When you live a life of non-contentment, you are always grasping for something else or something more. Hatha Yoga allowed me to find peace, calm and embodiment by bringing my awareness to my breath and my physical being as I moved through the postures. Breathing and movement became my focus instead of the stress and challenges of living a life of addiction. The poses gave me a sense of strength, calm, and empowerment to do what I needed to do."

In many of the teachings it is mentioned that it is important to have a strong foundation. Hatha yoga lends to this strong foundation, both physically and mentally. It provides the beginning to a lasting relationship with yourself through awareness, acceptance, and compassion. The practice of Hatha Yoga or Asana, is Third Limb of Yoga and so much more than a physical workout or stretching, as taught in the teaching; The 3rd Limb-Asana. The practice becomes mindful, energizing, centering and balancing not only our physical body but also our energy body and our intellect. Hatha Yoga allows us to step back from the drama of life to just be, breath and feel. This practice allows the union of mind, body and spirit, which is such a misundertstood concept. When our body, breath and mind are 'on the same page' we allow the unconscious to come forth into the conscious mind. We learn what drives us in a loving and gentle environment. 

This is psychology. This is the union of mind, body and spirit.

Important to note that there are modifications for all the asanas. So if you are struggling with a pose ask for guidance. Also there are chairs available in all classes for assistance in some poses. When you need a modification or assistance, ask for it. that is spiritual maturity. Everyone can do Hatha Yoga. Poses will look different on everyone!! The empowerment comes when you can find balance and ease in your pose.
