This video features a Hatha, or physical, yoga program. Hatha yoga prepares the body via breathing and physical exercises for the spiritual and meditative practices of yoga. This workout is a challenging and energizing yoga routine concentrating on breathing exercises and holding poses. Instructed by Tracey Rich and Ganga White, directors of the White Lotus Roundation Retreat and Institute of Yoga Teacher Training, the program was designed to supplement more strenuous workouts and to be an introduction to yoga for beginners. If practiced regularly and over time, yoga can reduce stress, increase endurance and flexibility, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure. ~ Heather M. Fierst, Rovi
