the word

The word Yoga in Sanskrit means “union”– the joining of our physical body, mind, and spiritual consciousness. There are many different styles of yoga, including but not limited to; Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Hatha. The original style that Samantha teaches is Hatha Yoga. Hatha for Ha (Sun) + Tha (Moon) Yoga is a union of opposing forces. The Ha (Sun) is practised in the Asanas or postures; while the Tha (Moon) is practised using breathing techniques. Hatha Yoga is a beautiful combination of these different practices which include gentle stretches to release tension, postures to align the body, breathing techniques to settle the nervous system and calm the mind.
