Hatha Yoga

IHT — Institute of the Himalayan Tradition — teaches the ancient, pure, classic form of yoga: Raja Yoga from the Himalayas. It integrates all aspects of our lives and helps us attain a comfortable body, peaceful mind, and control over both. This Himalayan Tradition of yoga teaches the four steps of hatha: physical postures, breathing practices, relaxation techniques, and the yogic ethical restraints/spiritual observances. In our meditation classes we teach the next four classic steps to ultimate self-knowledge.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing and bring your own yoga mat if you wish. Yoga mats are available in the classrooms for students’ use or are for sale in the bookstore.

Our hatha yoga teachers are certified by IHT and registered with the Yoga Alliance, a national registry of training standards.

Each hatha yoga course is sequential for eight weeks; only Gentle Yoga classes and Advanced Hatha permit drop-ins for those who wish. Exceptions need to speak with one of the major teachers.

All our Hatha Yoga Classes run for 75 minutes and offer credit hours for teacher training.

Cost: $90.00 for each 8-week course or $85.00 if pre-registered. 7 weeks session cost is $80.00, each individual walk-in class is $15.00. Payment by check or cash only.

Gentle Yoga

This very special course, developed by our own Swami Jaidev, is a wonder to experience! It’s great for those who wish to slide into body- work very gently and slowly because of age, lack of practice, injury, excess weight, or simply personal preference. Stretches are done in an enjoyable, comfortable setting. Wear loose clothes. Drop-ins are welcome. This course is for maturing and recuperating bodies or absolute beginners. Lots of fun!
