Start your journey at Moon, or begin with our Beginner’s Course.
Read below for more details on each stage of the progression.
MOON HATHA YOGA
Stage 1 Hatha Yoga Classes.
Moon Is Code For Mind
‘A mind that isn’t tranquil is unfit for any journey’
This statement is why the traditional progression begins with Moon (tha) practice.
We can’t begin to evolve and grow if our foundation is unstable.
Here we build both mental and physical resilience. Working with holding poses and controlling the breath to become stronger.
Moon practice is the foundation of all Tantric Hatha Yoga that follows. Always take the Moon with you.
Pose Categories:
We use a variety of Forward Folds and Twists, combined with deepening our exhales, to challenge our strength and build a solid foundation
These Classes Will:
- build physical strength
- shape a healthy breath
- reduce stress/anxiety
- reduce a busy mind
- challenge your resilience
- build a calm mindset
- introduce you to Hatha Yoga
- improve overall health
- increase your discipline
- set you up for a brilliant journey through the Moon, Sun, Fire progression
SUN HATHA YOGA
Stage 2 Hatha Yoga Classes.
Anchor The Moon To Rise The Sun
After establishing a strong Moon practice, we can move into the Sun (ha).
Now that we are more stable, we can bring in more energy! These classes are more dynamic and focus on building our energy.
With the foundation built in Moon practice, we can build our energy without becoming overstimulated.
This leads to a practice that picks us up, instead of depleting us.
A steady and calm mind (developed in Moon) is an absolute necessity on the Solar path.
Pose Categories:
We use a combination of Backbends and Laterals supported by deeper inhales, to build our energy!
These Classes Will:
- increase your movement
- build your energy
- form deeper connection
- improve breath capacity
- build heart health
- increase back strength
- deepen your knowledge
- guide you through a flow
- build your awareness
- sensitise you to energy
- guide you towards the next stage of the Hatha Yoga journey
FIRE HATHA YOGA
Stage 3 Hatha Yoga Classes.
Hatha Is The Striking Of Sun & Moon Into Fire
Now we have mastered the Moon (tha) and Sun (ha), we can combine both in a Fire (hatha) yoga practice!
Fire practice is the 3rd and final stage of the progression.
After building your Moon and Sun practices, you will have all the tools needed to begin practicing at this level.
Here we combine everything we know and introduce some more complex teachings that will challenge us on another level.
Allowing us to realise our true potential and access our power!
Fire practice is more physical, but the true emphasis is on cultivating internal heat, directing awareness and energy into the spine and unlocking our innate ability to thrive.
Pose Categories:
We use Forward Folds, Twists, Laterals and Backbends to access both Sun and Moon techniques! We also build on this introducing Extensions and Laterals, supporting poses with both the inhale and the exhale.
These Classes Will:
- create inner balance
- challenge your mind
- build heat in the navel
- unlock your power
- introduce new concepts
- build connection to mind
- deepen your meditation
- combine all pose categories
- build control of awareness
- show you your potential
- guide you to the final stage of Hatha Yoga where you will be deeply connected to body, mind and soul.
