Hatha Flow Yoga Classes with Johanna Varghese
Hatha Flow Yoga
Hatha is a general category of yoga, usually referring to yoga that uses the practices of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (yoga breathing exercises).
These postures and exercises can help to bring peace to the mind and body, and to help preparing the body for practices such as meditation.
Hatha Flow yoga involves doing these posture in synchronisation with the breath, and in particular doing them in a continuous flow from one posture to the next.
This style of yoga emphasises the balance between effort and remaining relaxed and aware, and is very accessible for newcomers to yoga.

Meditation
Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. It helps us change the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
Buddhist meditation techniques offer a way of encouraging and developing positive states of mind, such as calmness, clarity, emotional positivity and a deeper seeing of the true nature of things.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is one of the central practices in Buddhism. Put simply, when we are mindful, we are aware, we notice what is going on around us and inside us.
