Hatha Yoga in the Sivananda style is a holistic practice that integrates physical postures (asanas), breathing (pranayama), relaxation (savasana), and meditation. It follows a structured class format that includes chanting, warm-up exercises like Sun Salutations, a sequence of 12 core asanas, and final relaxation, often without music to help students focus. The style is rooted in the philosophy of the five points of yoga: proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet, and positive thinking and meditation.

Physical Well-being – Strengthen your body, enhance flexibility, and improve posture through consistent practice.
