ISHTA - Stands for the Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda.

ISHTA has a double meaning that stretches back to the very roots of yoga. ISHTA is also a Sanskrit word translating to "that which resonates with the individual spirit," emphasizing the personal journey that encourages and guides students to embrace.

Hatha - Postures - build strength, balance, and flexibility - based on individual needs.
Tantra - Philosophy - That there is joy that exists at the core of your being.
Ayurveda - Science of Life - Way the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) are blended together in each individaul that effects the physical, emotional, and mental states.

Combination of alignment of the body, coordination of breath and movement, holding the postures, or the flow from one posture to another.

Each class contains:

• Postures - Strengthen, condition, and tone the body,
• Breathing Techniques - Quiet anxiety.
• Meditation Techniques - Enhance ability to focus.
• Deep relaxation - Chance to rest and rejuvenate.

May 2010
Chair Yoga can be fun and challenging. Chair Yoga offers an alternative to mat yoga that can be just as challenging. Let's face it, not everyone feels comfortable sitting on the floor.
