About Hatha Yoga
Having a healthy body, a calm/disciplined mind, and a sharp/subtle intellect play an important role in one's secular & spiritual life successes. Over a period of time, yogis have developed, refined, and adopted asanas, pranayam, and samyam (contemplative practices) that help maintain our health, manage energy, and restore ourselves with various concentration and restoring practices.
In our center, asanas, pranayam, and restorative practices are taught to invoke this overall well-being in a safe environment with care. Breath-integrated mindful movements orient us inwards and placing our bodies in these postures naturally evokes a spaciousness.
We weave asanas – standing, seated, prone, supine combine them into forward, backbends, twisted and inversion poses and aim to bring spaciousness, strength, energy and flexibility of the body and calmness to the mind.
Once a month, a devotee family hosts Bhajan Sandhya, an evening filled with bhajans and kirtans sung together with family, friends, and other devotees. This could be to commemorate a special milestone in the family or simply to create divine positive vibrations in the home!
If you would like to host a Bhajan Sandhya at your home, please contact our coordinator at (847)-942-2107 or brundakamath@hotmail.com
