About Hridaya Hatha Yoga
Hridaya hatha yoga is a form of classical hatha yoga practiced in a contemplative style. We often describe it as meditation in motion.
The practice is mostly performed with the eyes closed and we generally hold the āsanas for longer than other styles. This helps us to interiorise and connect with the more subtle aspects of our being.
The practice is slow and gentle and at the same time, deeply energising. We practice with a non-pushing attitude, striking a balance between effort and relaxation.
Hridaya Hatha Yoga is for everyone!
Level: People of all ages, body shapes, sizes and ability are welcome. No prior experience necessary, you will be fully guided throughout the session.
Please let us know, prior to class commencing, if you are pregnant or post-natal or if you have an injury. This way we can tailor the class, so it is safest for your body – there are lots of easy ways to add variations and make the whole class accessible to everyone.

“Through his calm and loving presence, Adam creates a space where one really feels at home and his classes mirror the depth he has reached in his own practice. Such a gift to be able to go on this journey inside with him. Sabina emanates so much love and motherly care in her classes and through this really makes it easy for her students to go deeper and fully let go, meeting the present moment in a loving embrace.”

What to Bring
The space is not equipped with yoga mats or props. However, we do have a limited number of yoga mats and meditation cushions. We encourage you to bring your own equipment if you have it.
Wear comfortable clothing that you feel confident to move in. Layers are recommended, so you can best regulate your body temperature. It is particularly important that we have warm layers (especially jumpers and socks) for the shavasana at the end of class.
Location
Nelson Osteopathic Clinic is located on Trafalgar Street in the heart of Nelson. The clinic is on the 2nd floor of the Mid City Motel Building and the entry is down Banks Lane. Despite its central location, the space is very peaceful.
With the class starting after 5pm, there is plenty of free parking on Trafalgar Street and in Montgomery Square Carpark.
