PHILOSOPHY
Hohmyoga integrates the physical, energetic, mental and philosophical aspects of yoga to support fully harmonious mind-body health. Utilizing the physical benefits of the yogic practice to quiet the restless mind, reduce stress and enjoy peace, hohmyoga is for everyone. No individual is too young, old, small, big, experienced, inexperienced, poor or busy for yoga. You already belong so don’t worry about fitting in. You already have everything you need existing inside of you. You have the key- just come hohm.
The types of classes/services offered are:
Hatha – the foundation of all yoga practice, designed to open, strengthen and cleanse the body by holding the postures for longer periods of time, focusing on alignment, stillness of mind and breathing.
Vinyasa – a dynamic flow of postures connected together by breath. The idea of transformation is integral to vinyasa, challenging each student to tap into the change they desire and using the yoga practice to accomplish that.
Prana – in yoga prana is thought to be the energy life force that permeates the universe. Similar concepts in other philosophies are chi in Tai Chi, lung in Tibetan Buddhism, or “the force” in Star Wars. Prana yoga uses controlled breathing and sounds associated with the chakras to tap into specific energy centers of the body to move the healing prana through out the body.
Pranayama – breathing techniques that enhance the yogic practice allowing for the maximum benefit from the life force, prana. In yoga the breath and the mind are interdependent.
Restorative – a yummy style of yoga that provides a deep, relaxing, centering experience. These sessions revitalize the body by increasing circulation and calming the nervous system. Props are often used to enable a longer respite in the pose and allow for a deeper release. Pranayama breathing techniques may be used. Restorative classes are an excellent way to balance out the stress of modern life. After a delicious Restorative session you will re-enter the world with a peaceful mind and an open heart.
Meditation – imagine a singular moment when there aren’t a million different thoughts racing around your head telling you where to go, what to do, replaying conversations and events. Guided meditation is a practice to help to quiet the mind and extend that singular, perfect moment into minutes. A tree is just a tree, a flower is just a flower, nothing more. You are in the present.
