Hara is a Japanese word that refers to the practice of discovering the root of one’s “deeper possibility and power.” Hara can be translated as “belly” but it is much more than that. Hara is also the process of discovering one’s center, both physical and psychological; a strong and awake core in the body as well as a more stable mind; allowing one to live life with greater joy and confidence. In this slow-flow, Hatha yoga class, we will investigate Hara in every sense through an approach to postures and breathing exercises that will help students experience a strong, stable but not rigid center.
