Yoga
Hatha yoga is an ancient system for creating health and enhancing well- being. The practice of hatha yoga focuses on physical postures and breathing techniques that build strength and flexibility in the body and calm the mind for meditation. A dedicated yoga practice offers the benefits of mind/body awareness, freedom of movement, and renewed energy for daily living.
Yoga Classes
Healthworks offers several styles of hatha yoga as part of the group exercise schedule. Each style brings a unique focus to the practice, whether gentle and meditative or challenging and invigorating. We encourage you to explore our yoga classes until you find an instructor, style, and class level suited to your abilities and level of experience.
